my nak died?

So I installed my nak HU 2 or 3 weeks ago, or whatever. worked great, until a couple days ago. now nothing comes out of any speakers. it just died when i turned the volume down. it started working again last night, when i started pushing every button on the thing, but died again, when i turned the volume down. then i unplugged everything from the back, and reconnected it. and it worked, until i hit a bump and it died. I haven't been able to get it back since. wtf?

I bought this thing brand new, off ebay. Nakamichi 45Z. now what do i do? get a McIntosh?

Ouch dude, I was considering getting that deck or the Clarion HX-D10 for $269 shipped at onlinecarstereo.com . I was a little hesistant on the Nak because i heard that they had some problems playing CDR's and the disc gets stuck sometimes. They filed for chapter 11 recently so I don't know what kind of support you can get for it. I'd contact the seller and get a replacement or contact EBAY and have them go after the seller. A McIntosh would be nice, that or Eclipse. Sorry dude.

take it to a pro installer an have them check it out. It sounds like a wire could be loose.

The deck itself? or a wire on the harness?

Another question. I don't have any amps hooked up to this thing right now. is there a way to tell if there's output on the RCA's? I could just amp my entire system. lol. just a thought

Amping the entire system is good [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG].. just take a volt meter..turn the HU on and test for voltage across the center pin and outer ring on the RCA's.

*snif snif* it was so clear. lol. well i'll get on it. my cars going in for bodywork tommarow so i'll get to work when i get it back. I assume i should wait on contacting the seller till i know if it's the install or the deck. i doubt he'll do much anyhow.
