Hello,
A few days ago, the BOSE unit in my 2000 Maxima started powering down, unable to power on. It would then come on after a few minutes, but now it's completely dead (or so it seems). The funny thing is, the CD eject mechanism still works when you press it, but nothing else powers up-- I suspect it's on a different relay. Can anyone tell me if this is something known, simple to fix?
Another piece of info: my 2-year old son was playing in the car, and slipped a penny into the CD slot. It fell inside before I could fish it out :(. The CD didn't play for a little while, but then I turned a sharp corner and it came back on again. The penny may have fallen into a harmless location. However, the whole unit died within a week of this happening, so maybe the penny shorted something out. So the powering off may be a coincidence, or maybe not. I'm willing to replace the whole unit if necessary, but I want to avoid that. Whether or not that is the cause of the powering down, is there any way of fishing the penny out?
Thanks!
