Car Stolen Now JVC Faceplate Bad Connection

[sloane82]

My Jeep was stolen and the faceplate was not in the car but the thief tried to get the head unit out anyway. Needless to say he couldnt because I had it bolted on real well. When the police retrieved my vehicle I put my faceplate on and it would not work without stuffing a few pennies under the face. Im thinking that its a connection with the pins thats the problem. A little wiggle and the screen comes back on. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks

Insurance claim for theft damage and buy a new one?

A picture of the HU without the face on might help.

Pennies? you actually stuck pennies in your headunit? I dont even think they are made of copper anymore

I'll get a pic. Only had liability insurance at the time. The pennies were placed in between the face and the snap on surround piece around the outside of the radio. Anything would work. The radio just needs to be lifted a little to get power to the face.
