[QUOTE="SRim23, post: 8439517, member: 568830"] This is going to be long, please bare with me. I'll add cliffs notes but I like to explain a little more. A year ago a coffee waterfall poured down my gfs dash and over my DNX 8120. Immediately the screen goes dark, stays powered on but no response from buttons. A few days later it still powered on/off, eject button opens the screen as normal, still a black screen. Assume it's dead, chalk it up to a loss. Fast forward a year of procrastination and just life in general, still the same. Powers on/off ,nothing on screen, still opens. Girlfriends battery dies in her car and she gets a jump. Immediately radio comes back on and the unit asks for the password, works just fine like nothing happened. Next morning, start the car, back to previous symptoms. Push the reset button, works just fine. Now every time you start the car HU only works if you reset it. Ideas? Something simple to fix? CLIFFS NOTES Spilled coffee on HU Screen black but unit powers on Year later battery dies, once jumped HU works Reset button needs pushed every time car is turned on for it to work. Help me out guys!
