My son's Pioneer CD player is acting funny. The detachable faceplate with sometimes not illuminate when closed until I slu=ightly press the bottom of the faceplate - acts like a short/bad contact somewhere. Anyone else have this problem with Pioneer faceplates? Any suggestions for fixing this problem?

 

Fixed.....dirty contact and misaligned. Works fine now.

 

Hmm mine does that all the time Thanks for the tip on the repair

 

Check your contacts on the front of the HU where the faceplate contacts touch. You will notice how they are flexible - a few may just be sprung too far back to make contact with the faceplate. I used a jewelers screwdriver to bend them back.
