My Alpine CDE7825 car radio quit working after some jerk jump-started my
1986 mercedes. It has power up to the radio, but nothing works. Do you
think it can be repaired?

Yeah, what a jerk! Jump starting your car for you, I can't believe the
NERVE of some people! Any normal person would have let you sit there
instead.

Did you check ALL the fuses including the one to the amplifier (if you have
one) and the batt and ACC connections to the radio (the fuses may be inline
with the wiring harness requiring removal of the radio to inspect).

If it powers up, something is working. Do you have no sound or no display
on the radio (can't tune stations, can't see clock)

Did the "Jerk" get your 20 yr old junk running. Try a Hammer alpines
need a wack once in a while.

It was jump started at a place where we stored the car for the winter. You
are not supposed to jump Mercedes - puts a power surge through the car.
Checked all fuses. Nothing lights up, no clock and the power antenna does
not go up.
