2008 Pri Audio console stopped working

[Gilbert]

This morning, I wanted to try out some new music and after turning the car on, I proceeded to eject a cd to make space for the new one and noticed al the cd indicator lights on the radio were OFF. Pressed the power button first, and nothing. Pressing any button had no effect, tried to put it on FM/Am/aux etc etc and did not work. Steering wheel controls still worked though. I could change station and modes and also control volume.

Before I’ve had problems with the volume knobs not working all the sudden (which seems to resolve on itself when it happens), but the rest of the radio was still operational.


I finally got it back ON by smacking it with my hand, and then all lights turned on and could use the buttons and stuff. Then I realized that I screwed up, because now the dealer will not see anything wrong with it when I take it to check what happened.

Anyone have any idea why would this happen or what causes this?
