We have had the same issue with our third row DVD player.  Hasn’t worked for years.  This is just one of many issues this 2015 GMC Yukon Denali XL has had.  Another very common issue of such a rough ride and we are on our third pair of new struts.  It rides like we have wooden wagon wheels!  Will never purchase one of these again!

Anyone with second row overhead DVD issues in 2015+ GM suvs where the backlight works but no video, or you are unable to open the screen all the way without losing picture, the solution is easy. Remov

Same issue here. I figured it was the ribbon based on what others were saying. Dealer wanted 800 to replace. I took the unit down 4 screws and unplug 2 harnesses. Pulled the cover off and reversed the

I'm having the same issue with my 2015 GMC Yukon.  I went to Amazon searching for my cable and found this one:   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W8WAOKO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie

Just a quick note to thank both 67firebird455 for the original fix answer and ChevyDriver59 for his post of the video instructions on 01/01/2021. My neighbor had issues with 2nd row monitor while her husband was deployed and asked if I had any recommendations for troubleshooting.  I was able to find this thread searching and fixed her problem for a few bucks in cables instead of her having to replace entire module like she was told by dealer...several hundred dollars. Much appreciated!!!

Hello! Did anyone have a video of fixing the ribbon of at DVD player in the 2015 Chevy, Suburban 2nd row dvd player?  I am sorry I have looked throughout this post and could not find anything.  I am desperate to fix this and can't figure out how to exactly do it successfully and where to get the part needed.  Any help I will greatly appreciate!

The link posted above didn't work for me.

 

But this video here is very helpful:

 

This is the same video that is linked on page 6 of this thread.

Anyone have trouble with only the audio not working?

 

Both of my screens work fine.  I’ve tried all 4 headsets with fresh batteries. Audio just stopped working one day.  Any ideas?

Same issue here, '15 Yukon XL Denali.  Quoted $700 to replace it.  If you open the screen slowly, there is a point where you can see video, it is clearly a ribbon connection issue.  Since I'm out of warranty, and GM could honestly give a rip about this lemon, I plan to take it apart and try and repair.  I've got my eye on a few other non-GM vehicles to trade this lemon in.

My 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali had the same problem, and it was diagnosed as a bad screen unit, that is what they said, and DeMontrond Buick GMC, in Houston did the repair OUTSIDE warranty for $145.00 and has worked like a charm, 149526 miles now and was done at 87588.... GREAT dealership, 3years ago...

 

The only problem that I am having now is that the rear never did play through the Bose sound system, still cant figure it out...  It plays the DVD in the from and sound from all the speakers, but if I use the RES for USB, it will not have any sound, but was told that I needed a different headphone for this system, but I think that there is only wired, and NOT wireless capability?

 

I only have one remote to use for both screens..., also you can adjust the screen brightness with the remote for the rear screens and that made a world of difference for the screen, but still no luck with the wireless headphones..

Thanks

My 2015 Yukon XL Denali has just 50k on the ticker, and had this issue. GM is not standing behind the junk of a vehicle this has been within the two years of ownership, and I am not paying $700 to replace the second row DVD player.

I hope this helps someone with the same ridiculous problem. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver, a small flat-head, a ratchet/driver, and a 7mm socket.  This literally takes less than 30 minutes total to do.

I can confirm that this worked for me. Just did this same process, and got the screen to work. It is a little funky with the positioning, but I'm glad to know the issue was just the ribbon cable. I'll be ordering that cable soon and doing this process again. Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion! Had the same issue on our 2019 Yukon XL SLT. Middle tv did not turn on and the remote with it would not work. 
 

I disassembled and flipped the ribbon around and reassembled. Bam! Turned right on with the others. 
 

Saved a ton of money for 30 minutes of time.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.

      Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
