HELP! What's wrong with my Clarion CD player???

[gowestwardho]

Is there anything I can do for this other than wasting $80 bucks on a new CD player? I have a Clarion AM/FM/CD and ALL I REALLY USE IT FOR is to play from my iPOD (I really don't need the CD). Anyway the problem is that very often the only way to get the unit to turn on is TO BANG THE HELL OUT OF IT. I know there must be a short or corroded contact or something inside the unit but I would not know how to locate it. It is not the fuse and not the ground. Sometimes it'll come on if I bang on the fiberglass helm just around the unit and other times I need reach up inside and hit the CD unit itself from the backside. ANY IDEAS WHAT I CAN DO TO FIX THIS???? Thanks!
