Jensen AWM970 Uncommanded Actions

This is the 12VDC - powered "entertainment system" in a late model Thor Fifth Wheel.

It takes the following uncommanded actions, all on its own...

1. Turns ON at random

2. Playing Radio, displays "USB Input" at random. Drops out of "USB" and goes back to playing Radio

3. Playing a DVD, keeps going back to its own root screen (Jensen logo, etc) and says it's "Loading" the DVD

Any...

1. ...tricks to get it under control? Thinking of doing a "reboot" by pulling its 12VDC fuse

2. ...hope for this thing? It's not ours, I'm trying to help out at a campground...

THANKS!

Rip that thing out, then throw it as hard as you can onto concrete, then with a 20 lb sledge beat it into pulp, then stomp on it, then with a broom sweep it into a pile and pickup with a shovel and toss the remains into the nearest garbage receptacle..

Then after all that go and buy a aftermarket car stereo with DVD player and never ever look back at that worthless piece of junk with the "j" name..

Folks, RV manufacturers buy the cheapest junk for "entertainment systems", that "J" brand most likely cost the RV manufacturer a mere $5.. There is no "quality" in it.. It is Throw away junk. Don't buy another and don't spend any time trying to fix it.. there is no "cure" other than junking and putting a better brand name car stereo in it's place..
