Sometimes there is a code which must be entered after power has been interrupted.
I assume it’s an anti theft thing so anyone who steals your stereo won’t be able to use it
if u got it from crutchfield call them - their customer service is great

Not sure how I can enter a code when the screen doesn’t turn on

Simple battery replacement then yeah I would look for the owner's manual or radio code card for the radio code.
Did the unit come with a remote?

Given that its aftermarket, probably just popped a fuse. Pull it out and check the main power wire.

Yup or maybe they fed your HU a power wire directly from the battery and it never got reconnected.

Yes good call. If it’s a higher power unit that’s how it’s often done, with an inline fuse. Would still be connected to the car wiring turn on wire to know when ignition is on, but that wouldn’t be the power to turn on the unit.

Sounds right. Some systems have a weird reset when power is interrupted.

"turn it off and back on again? You cant turn it off or on? Okay unplug it, and plug it back in. Did that work?"

This method works a surprising amount of times whenever a modern computer is involved. Still kind of surprised to see it work here though. Glad you got it solved.
