Default stereo not working

I have a 2004ls and all of a sudden it would not turn on. I have looked at all the fuses, there are like 4 in the manual that allude something to the radio and they all appear good.

Any ideas or past similar situations? It is not Mark Levinson just premium package.

Good luck..At least it won't turn on so it sounds like a definite power problem. I'm having a problem with a ML system on an '05 that has stumped the experts. It turns on and everything functions just no audio after the first second of the welcome screen. Almost like it's been muted. I would try checking other fuses that aren't necessarily "tied" to the radio and maybe you'll get lucky. Otherwise, there may be a relay of some sort that is dead so the fuse is continuing the circuit but it won't get to the deck. I'm sure there has to be someone else on this forum with a lot more experience that could steer you in the right direction.
