well i have no idea why but try cutting the power completely. Take the negative battery terminal off and push on the brake pedal for a few seconds just to take any of the remaining electricity away. Hook er back up and see if it helps.

That's about the only good thing about big box stores. The department people generally don't know much about their products, and will take them back for about any reason. Walmart being the best for this. I often 'rent' power tools from them.

Needless to say, when we did that, there was no display.

So I go ahead and put mine back on my deck, and he does the same with his faceplate. When we turn the headunit back on, his 9884 has no display, and the illumition is flashing on and off at a fast pace. So we hit the reset button, thinking all would be good. Nothing changes, the dek still has no display and now none of his buttons on his faceplat NOR remote work. He only has the ability to control the volume.

I right away check my headunit after this happens. Turns out I have no display either, but my illumition is fine and all my buttons work, both on the faceplate and remote.

Now I know this was probably a really stupid idea, but why did this happen?

Any comments will help, and flame all you want, cause I know I fcuked up

This is the First post from you in a long time, where your not being cocky...You accepted your mistake :D I commend you on this...

I would try to disconnect the ground for your deck(actually take it off) for a few seconds, hard reseting, and worst case you get a new deck!! About your buddy though, that could suck for him!!(unless he has a warranty too)
