Is it stock radio or aftermarket? Had that happen to aftermarket head unit and it turned out to be the retro module. I replaced the module and all is good now. Good Luck

a voltage drop below 8.5vdc will keep the unit from fully turning on.
With the 07, could also be vibration damage to the radio.

good way to tell about the vibration issue is pull the fairing cap off and look at the underside of the radio where it sits above the triple tree. If you see marks on the casing where the riser bolts hit the bottom of the radio, pull it out and send it to Iron Cross, they'll hook you up. Tony and his folks are great people to deal with, treat you fairly, and expeditious on repairs.
