2006 R500 Rear DVD Not Working

The rear seat DVD will not power on. It is the center console version - any advice would be appreciated. Checked the fuse, but don't know where the DVD is powered from.

Rear DVD - follow up

To add to the thread about the rear DVD not working, I should add that the car was recently with the MB service center to replace the air blower, YAW sensor etc due to water damage caused by a plugged reed valve - see the threads.
Back from the MB dealership, I had to reset the windows, and then found that the sun shade and sun roof had to be re-set following the elaborate procedure in the manual, thanks to guidance from the forum.
Does the computer need to be re-set to recognise the DVD? Is this an MB service procedure, or can I do it?
Stop Press:
The Message Center is now saying that the Left and Right fog lights are not working - as if it is telling me something - but the car does not have fog lights fitted!
Wait a minute - does anyone know of really cool after market fog lights for the R Series. They would have to be better than those on my neighbors Audi.
Looking on the bright side (sic), I will then not need to have MB re-set the computer to recognise new fog lights. Could the message be an example of proactive MB customer care?
