My Superb' infotainment suddenly cuts out, then pops back up when going over a bump or similar, then is off again. Does it need to go th the Skoda garage to be checked with their diagnostics machine (£108.00 by the way) ?

Radio/infotainment suddenly shuts down & may come back up for a bit, then shutting down again. Does it really need the Skoda diagnostics hook-up or what could be done ? Radio comes out easily enough. Thanks.
