Alpine flip out dying...

[bikinpunk 10+ year member]

I bought the Alpine iva-d300 from Crutchfield last November. I had no troubles with it until about a week ago. I don't know if the heat's gotten to it or what ( I live in Alabama and the car is easily 120+ degrees inside), but recently the gearing has all but given out. When I push the button to make it fold open or closed it jerks hard and sometimes just stops. I have to help it along by barely pulling out on the monitor until it gets out. Then it folds up fine. It seems to me like the track motor is off. Right now I'm leaving it up b/c I'm scared it'll get ruined if I let it open and close with each crank/turn off of the car. I called Alpine earlier but the tech line rang and rang, so I'll call back later on. Hopefully it'll be covered under warranty since it was bought authorized and I've had it less than 9 months. I was just wondering if anyone's had this trouble before, and what was done to fix it.
