Car stereo

I was wondering whether u can help me fix my car stereo.

I turned ignition off, after a couple of hours went back, turned my car on. Although the radio worked without the ignition being on anyway.

The stereo didnt work at all, i checked the fuse, its ok.
There is a red light that should flash if the power is going thru the radio, its not blinking.
So what is the first component inside the radio that the power goes to, then i can replace the component. As my radio is no longer under guarantee, and at the time cost me a lot of money.
All the wiring is ok, cos i put the old radio in and everything worked.
But obviously it isnt quite as good as my wharfdale.

Have you solved your problem? I have the same model fitted to my wifes car. When I turn the ignition on the radio flashes red (so must be getting some power) but then goes completely dead.

The Fuse on the back under the wiring plug, failing that there may be a couple of fuses in the car that go to the stereo that may be out could check them or the wiring on the car itself behind the stereo could be loose, otherwise i am not sure
