Factory POS radio question

Does anyone know what causes the radio to cut out when it feels like it? Seems like a common theme, I have 3 that do it. I think it might just be a loose connection somewhere, because one it seems to get bumped the right way while I am driving and starts working again. Another one I know if I smack it hard it starts working right again. Maybe I'll just tear it apart and heat up all the solder connections and see if that does any good.

This is temporary. I'd just like it to work for a few weeks or so until I can get around to finding a good stereo I want to put in there and install it. I'm kinda picky and take my time in picking a head unit.

so common, happened on my old camaro. One good hit would turn the speakers back on. Its next to impossible to trace the problem because it could be internal or external. other than that ... just bare the agony. Get you new one soon.
