Radio not working

Got in my truck to go home from work and no radio. WTF. I have an 07 F-150 Screw 5.4 4X4. Checked the fuse, I think it was the #7 and it is ok. Any ideas?

I've seen a couple of these now that did the same thing. Both of them started working after I unplugged the radio to check it and plugged it back in. For whatever reason it seemed that "rebooting" it made it work again. For how long, I don't know. You could accomplish the same thing by removing a battery terminal for a few minutes.
Does your truck still have warranty?

Since the dealership got me in this morning I had them look at it. Wasn't there 30 minutes and they came out and said that they just unplugged it and plugged it back in and it is working. The service guy said that they went ahead and ordered a new radio for it and it should be in around Wednesday.
