Head Unit woes

I won't bore you with the details, but my headunit stopped producing sound. It turns on and everything, it just stopped sending sound to the speakers. It was working fine, then it cut out so I turned it off and back on again and it was fine for like 5 seconds then it died. When I went to use it today it turned on, but never made sound. My questions are:

• Could this be caused by overheating ¿
• Is it most likely a wire jiggling loose ¿
• Has anyone else had this happen ¿

I won't be able to take everything back out and look at it until tomorrow, but I just wanted to know of anyone elses experience with this. If you need anymore info or anything just ask. Thanks a lot guys.

The internal amp could be going(or is)bad,or you could have a short in one of the speakers. A lot of times when I have customers come in for a similar problem,it is usually a speaker lead from the head unit shorting to ground.

Thanks for the suggestion. When I took it out I tested it and it worked fine. I put it back in and it still worked. I think one of the connection was just bad. Oh well.
