You can use a voltmeter to check the input power line and make sure it has power. But unless you're comfortable with electronics troubleshooting, you probably can't do much more than that.

My suggestion is to check the fuse and make sure it's good. Or if you have front panel lights, you don't even need that 'cause it's getting power. If you have power, do a couple of quick tests, like check all bands of radio and all inputs. It could be that only one input is bad, like the CD, for example. Or it may even have slipped into a funny mode, like mute (sound off) or it may be connected to an unconnected auxiliary input or to Bluetooth, waiting for input from your phone or something.

Beyond that, if it has a problem, I think you're probably going to want to take it to your local car stereo installer and see what they have available for replacement.
