Default OEM radio/XM/CD unit in 2008 Accent quit working - troubleshooting advice?

It's the version that has CD player and XM Radio built in. No power, no LCD display. Just dead.
PN# 96110-1E085CA
Model A-200 MC A3A
Barcode # BKU8301102

Fuses are good.

We bought the car new. Unless a forum member has some troubleshooting advice, I'd like to replace it with a good used one of the same model.

I'll be posting in the 'Wanted' forum soon as I pull the unit & confirm the precise part #. I'd rather buy from a trusted forum member than from fleaBay.

EDIT to add:
12V present on R (+).
Switched 12V is present on G when ign. sw. is on ACC and IGN.

A little side note,

Any electrical device in a vehicle needs to have , Power and Ground to operate.

Checking the fuse is only part of the job. We need to check at the radio itself to confirm power is available there and a good ground connection too..
If you cannot manage to do this , consider having a radio shop or someone with a little electrical background check this. You may not need another radio unit.

In hindsight I left that part out.

12V present on R (+).

OP has been edited accordingly.

How did you verify a good ground is available?

Continuity from black GND pin to vehicle chassis ground.

It was the radio. A good used unit of the same model from fleaBay for $80.00 USD was a simple P&P.. We have tunes again.

Thanks to all who replied.
