Jump start issues W210

Made the rookie mistake of leaving my lights on today at school, and my battery went dead. One of my friends gave me a jump, but as I tried to turn on the radio while I let the car idle, I noticed that the it refused to turn on. I have had problems in the past when I replace the battery or anything else that requires the battery to be disconnected, but nothing like this. In the past, it would ask me to input a security code, but this time, when I press the knob to turn on the radio, absolutely nothing comes up on the display, it doesn't respond at all. It was working this morning, so I don't think it's the fuses. Has anyone had any issues similar to this before, and if so, how have you fixed it?

Check the fuse using a continuity checker or DMM not eyeball. If it's okay and the radio is OEM (Becker/Alpine) pull the radio and check the fuse on the back.
