1999 T reg petrol manual saloon
 I had this radio CD unit decoded, it ran OK though the volume control ceased to function. I removed the battery for other work, replaced it, and the radio was dead - clicking the vol control off/off did nothing. I took the unit out of the car, took off top and bottom panels, tinkered with it and put it back. It came to life!

Took battery out again, replaced it. This time I cannot get the radio to come back to life. The on/off volume control clicks, but nothing happens. Curses.

Any suggestions?

Click? Through the speakers, or just the noise the button makes?

Thinking about the fuse on the rear

Noise the button makes. No lights on, nothing on the display

Volume button is a common failure on that model.

Depending on where it was decoded, some take the fascia off, so worth checking all the contact pins are correctly seated between the fascia and main pcb

Thanks, Dave!
                   I twisted the facia about a bit, hoping to bed the pins in, put it back in the car, and it worked!

Volume control still doesn't work, but that can be controlled from the steering wheel. Problem solved.
