Radio and screen won't turn on

Had the car taken in to my indy mechanic (shout out to Jose at German Auto in La Habra, you're the best), and when I got it back, the radio and center console screen aren't turning on. Checked Fuse 26, not blown - checked the other Fuse in the trunk, not blown. Also checked Fuse 11 (Comand, I think) - not blown! Tried wiggling all the fuses and re-inserting. Also replaced the fuses. Nothing. My 2008 C300 Sport does not have navigation - it's the basic radio setup.

Any ideas on how to get my radio back to working?

Yep buy Jose a Chalupa. Then tell him to do the job correctly!

Actually, it wasn't him who screwed anything up - it was a dealership named House of Imports that I had originally taken it to that caused the error. He was piecing back together their mistake. And I'd honestly rather put my foot in a blender than deal with House of Imports again.

Also, thank you for absolutely nothing and wasting everyone's time reading your response, which honestly came across as a bit racist. If anyone else has any legitimate input or ideas regarding this, I'd appreciate it.

Maybe detail a bit more the circumstances of what happened to the car, what the dealer did and what they messed up and what the indy mechanic did with the car. That could help you possibly get some more responses Your post was somewhat confusing in that you said you took it to the indy mechanic and when you got it bac that was when teh display wasn't working, implying that it was working before and after they did what they did it was not. Is that not the case?

There's also a fuse behind the unit.
