Stereo won't play anymore???????

Help.......I have a 73 stingray with an after market kenwood stereo...I reached up and adjusted my mirror and the wire for the map lights was bare and touched metal and I heard a pop and now my stereo won't play. It will light up (bakck lights) but I have no digital readout or sound. I have since fixed the bare wire touching metal but I still have no stereo. Thanks for any help or advice you can give....
