Angry radio not working

I dont know what happened but all of a sudden my radio stopped working. In the middle of driving down the road. The thing just shutdown the center unit does not work. Or to say the bottons dont work even the thing that tells the radio station or other things it displayes. Some how it still plays one station and thats the one I left it on before it shutdown.

I've done that. I took the whole console and stereo apart and nothing wrong with the wires.
