Default battery died, radio wont turn on, not even SAFE

left radar detector on while i went to cali for a week, car wouldnt start when i came back. Jumped it and took a long drive and the battery is fine but the radio wont turn on. I tried to do the reset that is in the manual but it wont even come up with the SAFE or whatever, seems not to be getting any power.....blown fuse? any ideas thanks

Default

it's possible that jumping the car surged the power supply in the unit.
