ok, my 9813 works well and all, problem being the faceplate.

sometimes over bump or something, the face plate would go dead, like the display would be gone, no lights for the buttons, or sometime when I tried to press a button or turn up the volume, it would not work.

BUT the remote works fine, and sometime it comes back into life.

any way to sort this out?

and are alpine's face plate interchangeable? they all seem to have the same connectors.
