Sounds like some wires have gotten squashed/come unplugged. first things first though, check the fuses.

If they're not the route of the problem, remove the headunit and check the fuse in the back of that, and also how the wires lie.

Could be a dodgy connection within the headunit then. Try squeezing it, and pushing the face a little, to see if it aids it in anyway?

If it's this, there's not alot you can do for it I'm afraid
