Unhappy 92 Lexus SC Nakamichi Radio Not working

Hi there, I was driving around yesterday no problems listening to the radio. I hop into my car the next day and the radio wont do anything, it wouldn't even extend the antenna when pressing the power button.

It seems that it is on but just frozen.

Any Ideas?

Thank you, however I'm inclined to think there might be a wiring issue somewhere.
I started her this morning and the Radio kicked on with no issues.

I'd fix the water leak 1st, probably the source of your problem.

This may be the amp going out I read it on here somewhere.. After rainy days in NorCal I would lose the audio on the radio, so I use to hit this pothole on purpose, and it would usually jolt the radio back on.. atleast the sound.. I would assume condensation is getting in. somewhere.
