New AVIC-N3.... dead?

Just tried to turn it on for the 2nd time and it just won't go. I can hear the fan spin and the dvd spools up, but none of the lights on the faceplate turn on and the screen doesn't pop out (hitting the manual eject button does nothing).

 

The car isn't even put back together yet. The first time I turned it on everything worked fine, so I proceeded to add the wiring for my xm tuner, and upon trying to turn it on with the xm tuner I get what I desribed above. I tried disconnecting all of the xm wiring but that does anything.

 

Anybody have any ideas as to where I can start searching?

Sounds like the data cable might not be plugged in to the brain or the screen..if that isn't it make sure you haven't blown any fuses in the wire harness, check to make sure the xm is wired correctly, and the ip bus cables are in the right locations

Thanks for the reply. I was under the assumption that the screen should eject and the monitor would power on without the brain being connected so I didnt think that would be a factor. I'll look into that tomorrow morning.

Yea I did that once I got my n2 back from pioneer after the flex cable upgrade. I bench tested it and said"Those pioneer mother fuckers can't do anything right", then I put it back in my car and :oops: haha
