Guys I need some inspiration for where to look to diagnose, here is the story:
I have a top line HK stereo with 6 disc in the front. I run an AliExpress Android tablet instead of the nav screen, have done for a few years, all good. Recently I had a problem with the screen, basically dodgy connection on the switched live connection that I had to remake. In doing so I disturbed the screen, radio and heater switch panel.
All fixed, tested and working. So then I pack it all back in, all the cables need a little tidying to get the H panel back on etc. Once all put back, its not working. As in the radio doesn't power up and its taken the screen with it.
Of course I have had it all out again, checked connections (it all is done with proper adaptors, nothing on the radio is manual connections), put all together, twice. No joy. Replaced android screen with original to remove any of the new wiring - again, no joy.
Checked fuses, 53 is fine, and has power. Changed the radio and cigarette lighter relays. All other audio system related fuses are fine.
Error codes show lost communication with Audio Module.
I don't now know what to check next? Could I have blown the radio unit? Maybe, but how to check without having a spare?
Am I missing something that I should be checking? Which is the live power cable on the loom leading to the head unit? I could check that, if that's powered then surely the radio should at least power up? 2006 Java Black Metropolis - my first dip into the D3 world!

Update to the above - found the wires to the back of the radio, no supply. But fuse 53 is live, so I am assuming I have either a break between the two, or something else is killing it.
I did have an error:
B1C62-12 - Battery saver relay output circuit - General electrical failure - circuit short to battery (68)
( on 03-03-2027 23:26:22 at 169211 mi )
That could be killing power, but clearing it has no impact.
Also:
B1B70-81 - Local interconnection network bus circuit 2 - Bus signal/message failure - invalid serial data received (28)

Check the thick blue purple wire at the radio for power.
