Default Need help with a dead stereo!!

Hey everybody!
I'm new to the board and I need help with my Monsoon system.
My stereo was working fine, but the display bulb had gone out. I purchase a new one for it. When I started to repair it, I did not think to disconnect the battery, however the ignition switch was off. Pulled unit out, opened it up, replaced the bulb, plugged it back up. Now I have nothing, no sound, no Theftloc flashing, no response from any button combination. It only displays a clock. Nothing happens when I press power. I even tried turning the ignition on for an hour hoping it was in inop mode. Nothing! Please help!
I'm glad I found this board, there's a lot of great info here!!

So sorry, I forgot to tell you this is in a 98' TA

First things to check are the RADIO and the RADIO ACCY fuses. Don't just look at them - either test them or replace them with a known good fuse. Fuses often look okay even though they're actually blown.

Thanks for the reply WhiteBird00! Could I have a blown fuse and still have clock? This radio was working fine before I replaced the display bulb.
