Smile 2005 SL500 Command Center not coming on

Aloha-
I hope someone can help with this. 2005 SL500 Command Center just quit .... nothing on the display. All fuses are good. I disconnected the rear battery to reset everything and still no Command Center. Am I missing something? Is there another way to diagnose this unit? The CD changer behind the seat seems to work, but the Command Center is blank.

First check the 12 volts is present at the fuse at the back of the radio/command unit.
