Just had a new alternator fitted, on leaving the garage noticed no radio, not even the display that asks for the code. Could not go back to garage as it was Saturday afternoon and no mechanics working. When I arrived home also noticed that I could not get the CD cartridge out. Checked fuses but they all seem fine. Just seems to be no power to the unit. Any ideas?

Other than checking the fuses I've no idea, sorry.
However I will be checking mine works properly when I pick it up on tomorrow having had a new Alternator fitted.

Some radios have their own fuse, a 1 or 2amp. If you're in a position to remove it from the dash, this is something else worth checking. Might have blown once the juice was restored to the car when the battery was reconnected.
