The embedded software on board is not booting up. It may have detected a hardware problem. Make sure the power supply is in good condition then disconnect everything else and try again. If fault remains, its toast.
If you was to turn the deck upside down you will see 4 main screws in the corners holding the silver top to the black chassis of the deck. undo these screws and carefully turn the deck over and lift the top off slowly. I say slowly because before putting it down (you might need someone to hold it for you) you need to un-clip the white plug and there will be a data ribbon stopping you from pulling the lid away. this is the strip you need to check both ends that the connections are clean and pushed in properly (the blue strip on the connector should be facing the middle of the circuit board) be careful not to snap the connector and make sure you push it into its socket straight and not at all at an angle or it could snap. put the white connector back in and pop the lid back on and turn it on to see if worked.
It sounds like the hard drive has failed... cheap test, get another and reformat the new one. They are so inexpensive now. To avoid losing data, they lock things up if anything goes wrong. The unit probably can't get the ready signal from the drive and freezes...
If all other controls are working, check IF they have a "Contrast" setting for the display. When those are at end of range, the display often is blank.
