Command Died

I have a 09 E350 today I was getting off work, and turn the power on and it didn't power up. I was like huh, so I turn off the car and restart it and turn the radio on and still not powering up. I saw a black dark strip on the middle of the screen. Did the command bite the dust??? Or is the screen dead, Any one had that experience?

Where do you live? It's probably dead, but there are many to be had in the pick-your-part these days.

I pulled a fuse in the driver side panel and check and the fuse in the trunk for the radio, none was blown, next thing I tried to turn the radio back on and lo and behold it came back on. I was like what the heck? fuses wasn't blown so why did it suddenly decided to work?

Maybe it didn't like being called Command when it's Comand. It's some MB acronym which only has one M.

But I was going to say maybe it's audio gateway going, maybe you have a loose connection somewhere and maybe resetting it by pulling the fuse got it back to normal for now.
