[QUOTE="motochrome, post: 8408367, member: 666744"] Trying a different power source without disassembling my soldered/heat-shrunk harness could be done by smashing some leads into the chassis of the radio, driven by my 12V power supply. I'll try that, but I did verify proper voltages at their terminations in the truck. I'll go ahead and give it a shot though . . . Luckily my multi-meter leads fit into the banana plug outlets of my 13.8V DC (12V) power supply, and I was able to grab onto the little tangs inside the radio's chassis with alligator clips, but it didn't do any good. I matched up the tangs with the wires on the connectors for the appropriate positive and negative connections, as well as the 12V with key on. Dead as can be. Nothing. I could not find any reset button on the unit, or in its manual. I guess this little experience cost me a CD that I can't get out of the defective unit, and a few days I'll have to wait without any audio in my truck - makes driving lame, especially after being teased for a few days of pure sonic bliss. Old School? Sorry, I'm not aware of that abbreviation/terminology. I tried google, but only came up with: Operating System, Outside, One Size, on sale, Offset, Overseas, Outstanding (unpaid insurance claim), Out of State, Oversize (Canada Post), On Scene, Outstanding Shares (stock market), Operational/Support, Outstation, Ocean Surveillance, Outlaw Shark, and Organisation/Schmelt (Germany/Poland). Are any of those what you meant? Maybe you could offer a hint? Out of Stock? Overrated S...? Am I close? [/QUOTE]
