    Default In Car CD/DCD Headunit Problem

    I have an ice in car cd/dvd head unit which is connected to a separate fold down monitor in my car and today while watching a dvd the head unit just turned itself off for no reason... Now it wont turn on at all, nothing wrong with the monitor just the head unit. Has anyone had this same problem with the "ice" brand, is there like a reset button or something?

    First thing to do is to check the car fuses then check the head unit fuses.
    Were there any sounds or smoke of any kind?

    No bad sounds or smoke, just stopped working. Ive checked the fuses under the steering wheel and to the right, are there others I need to check?

    how long had u been using it and what temperature was it? Might've just got hot and shut down the thermal overload if it has one, or as already suggested it might be a fuse - not sure about the "ice" models but my Pioneer has a couple of 25A spades in the back so check them and yeah grab a multimeter too, see how it goes.
