Suddenly no sound from head unit???

[Veilside R33]

hey guys, i bought a 2nd hand schneider scd8000 headunit a few weeks ago, the backlight display didnt work (due to burnt out globes) all buttons light up fine but just not the back light (doesnt really bother me)

anyway all was fine after the install and working well untill a few weeks later, i started the car and there was no volume on the stereo, the graphic display (which moves to the beat of the music) was working fine and everything else was in order. there was simply no volume, after fiddling with all of the settings and trying a few things nothing worked.

a few days passed and i was getting worried, then one morning i got in the car and it was working perfectly again, but after about 5minutes without driving it randomly without warning shut the volume off again. and hasnt come back on since.

now i doubt its the headunits amplifier, as i should be able to faintly hear music when its turned up fully, but there is simply no sound at all.

so can anyone put a finger on whats wrong?

thanks guys,

Andrew.

Andrew,

Seems to me the problem has to be internal to the unit - unfortunately you'll have to pull it out & take it to a repairman. I'd suggest finding the Schneider agent & taking it to them, hopefully they'll have circuit diagrams.

good luck
