Default Ways to test the oem headunit?

How can I test the oem headunit?

it lights up but does not turn on or react to anything else. The vehicle is a completely unmodified 97 civic ex and I am suspecting the radio is dead because the keyless entry doesn't work also.

Thank you for your help.

As long as you have a constant 12v, ignition 12v, and a good ground it should power up normally. I have a known working stock radio from my 97 if your interested. LMK

Any volume? Pure static? Any feedback from the speakers or CD deck?

My car is also a 97 civic EX with stock 97 cd player. I'm kind of having a similar problem right now too. I'm trading my car in today, but don't want to turn it in with a non-op stereo (my radio will not switch to the stock cd player and I cannot eject the cd... just totally unresponsive.)
