Center Console is Completely Dead/Not Working

I have a 2017 C300 Coupe. I drove to work this morning everything was normal. Got back in the car after work, center console is dead. The screen is off and will not turn on, therefore back up camera is not functional. The auto start/stop button doesn’t work. Drive mode select doesn’t work. Seat belt button doesn’t work. Nothing works. Only the hazard light buttons and AC. But turning on the AC does not prompt the screen display of the AC command.

Has this happened to you?
Do you know anyone that has experienced this?
Any tips?

I’m going to my dealer tomorrow of course. But any help for now would be appreciated. Thank you.

Did you mistakenly turn the screen off?

Did you try hitting the volume button in the middle, this should turn on your screen.
