NAV/ Command Unit Won't Turn On Ideas??!?!?

So,

I started up my car yesterday after it had been sitting for a few days, and the entire command unit wont turn on. If i hit the power button it looks like it will start up and i see mercedes benz on the screen but then it shuts off instead of continuing. My dashboard just shows ----- lines on the nav and audio screens, and i can't even get into the 6 disc cd changer


Any ideas my car is out of warranty and im just not looking forward about going to the dealer

Thanks

Nick
