Because its a slim possibility. Whenever I deal with such things I try to eliminate any probable and possible issues within reason.
I guess this can be answered easily with a DMM. Just put it to CD and put the + on the amp turn on wire and ground the meter on the other side. If there is +12V at this point then the CD section is gone for sure.
Doing due diligence checks never killed a person.
In this case, if that is the problem it can easily and cheaply be remedied verse buying another HU. Especially if Tim has to refund the guy...

good points. considering I sold the head unit to him probably 6 months ago, which really wasnt a sell, because he traded me head units and ended up getting the one he traded me back...really long story. I guess I more or less gave it to him..
