im losing power to my music player

its a removable face plate and i have to push on it to get power to it. im not sure how to fix it. Do you think its the detachable part? oh something inside the head unit? and also anyone know how much it would be to take my car into a shop to have them get the key out of my ignition because it is stuck!!

detach the face and take an old toothbrush and clean the gold contacts on the back of the faceplate, and the radio panel itself.

There might also be a fuse under the faceplate, I doubt its burnt out since you say the radio still works, but its work a look.
You can also clean the contacts with q-tips and rubbing alcohol. Do not touch the gold contacts with your fingers...
