Default Re: Radio stopped working...

Modified post to store in problem solutions thread.

Enjoying a relatively problem free first 3 months with my 06 base coupe except for an irritating intermittent problem with my stock radio. My issue: when I pressed the "power" button on my stock radio to turn it on, the screen displays "Chrysler" as normal, but nothing happens after that(no sound, no radio station display, etc.)- the screen only displays "Chrysler" no matter what button I press(the only buttons that seem to do anything are the power button to turn "Chrysler" screen on/off & the CD eject button which works properly). The radio would not work for the 1.5 hours I was driving. Has anyone had this happen to them or know how to fix the problem?

I put in several CD's, played with all of the controls, started the car, turned it off and on and everything is working as it should.

He had no explination, he just said do it and laughed.
