after market CD player issue

[puntonew]

Its a "ministry of sound" pink stereo fitted. I have no instructions for it.
Every time i use it, it seems to start doing its own random things, even after i have removed the front and pressed/held the reset button.

I no longer dare leave the front attached when not in use, as twice i have come to it in the morning to hear it playing even after resets.

This is the stereo I have.

Its weird. this evening i had it on AUX, with the ipod shuffle connected, listening to OASIS - MASTERPLAN - and it stopped and the display said "VOLUME 00".

Its almost like poltergeist activity!

If a reset doesnt reset it, what will. Maybe i have not reset it properly.....

Sticky button? There was a pioneer USB head unit on offer at halfords recently for around £30. Much better than these cheap head units IMO.

Maybe yes.

all the button sort of spring/click in, but two dont, it seems the spring/click no longer works on them two buttons. These are the furthest right bottom button (forward) and the one above it.

I'd agree with the above "bin it" comment then, probably not worth trying to repair it. I've got a spare headunit with AUX (no USB) and MP3-CD capability. Even has a remote control! PM me if you're interested.

Yes, its had it, time for the scrap metal pile!

thanks for the offer eklipze

I have two others to try in it, one an old untried CD player, the other an old and tested cassette player.

Go for the retro feel of a cassette player. Record all your CDs onto cassette, for that 70s-90s experience.
