Eclipse AVN5500 DVD/NAV/MP3 etc etc

[The Architect]

I just took this guy out because it was acting funny, by that I mean it wouldn't light up or show the screen although I could hear it running inside.

Just 30 minutes before I realized this it was working just fine so it might be something dumb.

In all honesty I just wanted a new radio.

If someone wants it they can have it for $150 shipped CONUS

that's cheap as all hell as far as these or any of them go, Im just looking to take care of the blow the new radio left me.

hey bro you still have ur stock radio?

[The Architect]

sure do.

[JumpmanYaris]

so that thing just randomly stoped displaying whats on the screen?

[The Architect]

yea, it was working fine then i went for a drive to radioshack to get something and when i got back in the car i noticed the screen was just blank but i could hear really faint speaker hum thats just always there and i could hear it working inside.

[JumpmanYaris]

take it out and plug everything back again, strange

[The Architect]

i did.

I ordered an Alpine cda-105, basic but highly upgradeable, im excited for something simple again.

[advocate]

So is it broken or not? ...

[goku87]

simple is always better.

and yes, it's broken lol. or rather, temperamental.

I have some questions about it if you could please answer them. Im kinda considering picking this up. thanx

1. Does the screen always stay off or only sometimes it acts up?
2. Is that the only problem with it?
3. Does it have any kind of warranty on it?
