ok, so my deck is on, but none of the buttons work.. not even the eject button to take out my cd

it was working fine, then all of a sudden, none of the buttons work out of nowhere.


could it be the deck connection? or is my deck dead

 

"my deck" is very descriptive. Tells us exactly which deck you have.

 

i'm not sure of the brand as it came with the vehicle

the brand symbol is /\// or something similar to that.

 

Try finding a tiny reset button somewhere on the faceplate, and reset the head unit.

 

yea, i found the reset button... but when i press it.. it does reset the faceplate, but buttons still don't work.

 

Try cleaning the faceplate connections if it has a detatchable faceplate.

 

if reset and faceplate cleaning doesnt work....then the deck is probably defective.
