Well, I just went to turn my stereo on and got absolutely nothing! Nada, zilch - it's dead! No lights even came on and before anyone says it, Yes, it's plugged in, LOL. It's not super high-quality - it's an RCA and was only a couple hundred bucks. I've had it for probably three years or so. What could be wrong with it?

if its not something simple throw it away - unfortunetly
Power supply would have a tell tale smell

I can imagine you have had your wires crossed on more than one occasion! Going away for awhile to visit the hot sun. will I be missed?
 
Okay, I have to confess - a couple of days ago, a cd fell out of the cd tray and got lodged behind it. (I think it happened when I lifted and tilted the stereo back when I was dusting underneath it). To get it out I had to turn my stereo upside down and stick a ruler in (it worked). I'm guessing something happened when I did that but right afterwards, it was still working perfectly!?

Yeah, yeah, the truth comes out, lol!

When I put the full 12" in it sometimes messes everything up too.

You only wish you had a foot, after just one drink most bears are legless.
