Firsf step would be to check the connections on the back, maybe one wasn't snapped in fully and loosened.
Had a similar problem with my A/C controls recently, fixed in 10 Minutes fortunately..

I am pretty sure there are several DIYs, but as I am too lazy to search here is a short summary:

-Turn loose the shift **** and take it off.
-With a screwdriver and a thin towel, lift up the cover (the one with the cup holders) and take it off.
-Unscrew the cigarette lighter assembly (2 screws) and remove it (don't forget to disconnect the 3 cables at the back).
-Remove the 4 (?) screws under the radio assembly.
-Put a screwdriver between the middle air outlets and the radio cover with a thin towel, and carefully push is. If you want, you can also have someone push from behind the glove box to make it easier and reduce the chance of scratching something.
Again, be carefull with the connectors.

Reassembly in reverse order.

No pics, sorry. Am at work.
