Yesturday when I was leaving home from work, i got in my car and the stereo started acting all wack. The flip down screen only come down 1/3, turns off, goes back up, and repeats the process over and over and over again. I tried resetting the stereo, still did the same thing... I tried disconnecting the battery, still the same thing. I took off the face plate and made sure it wasnt on there loose, still the same thing. Does anyone know why this could be doing it? Motor problems? The only way I get it to work is to keep the face plate closed, Im still under warranty under Best Buy for another 2 years but if you guys remember my last "Amp Noise" thread, it took 1 month to get my amp back, and I dont want to be stereoless for a month, cuz that will make me loose my mind! But let me know if you have any ideas on what I can do to fix it, if any...
Here is the stereo that I got,
Its a Pioneer DEH-p8500mp,
