My Jensen radio has developed a bad habit...

My Jensen radio/DVD likes to turn it's self on, typically in the middle of the NIGHT :E It also continues to try to eject a DVD/CD even though there is nothing in it. It was doing this only once and a while but now is happening almost every other day.

Anybody else have this? Did you fix or replace the radio/DVD unit? I'm hesitant to replace it with another Jensen that will just likely break again. Typically like most electronics, this thing only lasted 3 years with little use :M

The model is Jensen AWM970.
  • Check to be sure the alarm isn't set...it may have gotten set by accident.
  • You might try to totally disconnect from power, let it sit for a few minutes, then reconnect. This worked for me with a CD player in a truck I had.
    Good luck.

    Exorcism needed? :B Have the same model in my TT but no problems to date. But, electronics can certainly get weird. The OEM radio in my Ram will suddenly go to max volume without me touching any control. Can't figure out if the problem lies with the control head or the control buttons on the steering wheel, or none of the above. :h
