Factory radio fully lit up...

This has happened a few random times in the past year but would always go away after a few minutes... Now it has happened again and won't go back to normal...



The sad part is I cannot see any info of station I am on or track (cd) and sometimes the buttons fail to respond to change anything other than the power button...

Thoughts?

Anyone else run into this issue with theirs? Mine is an 06 LS...

I don't wanna buy a new head unit if there is a simple fix...

Have seen several Cobalt radios with display issues, all required radio replacement.

Awesome... No indication as to what causes the problem within them?

I didn't wanna risk spending money on another factory one if this could happen again soon after replacing it so I bought a Pioneer p3300bt unit... I've read a lot of good reviews on it and have high hopes that it'll be a great replacement to the factory unit. Should be here today or Monday...
