Command unit wont power up
So I was cleaning my 2005 SL500 today and sprayed windex on screen. By the way battery was disconnected while doing this. When I reconnected battery cable the dispaly shows the MB logo. Then nothing on the dispaly. Feel it must be something simple but have no idea as to where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try holding the power button for more than 10 seconds?

Went out to car this morning and went to clean with q tip and rubbing alcohol and found the radio to work. Must have dried or something but working fine now!
