One Particular Harbor

Okay, there may not be enough information here for you to render an opinion, but I thought I would ask and see if anyone has past experience, insight, etc. with this type of problem.
My CD changer (Sony Xplod 10-disk) quit working after a particularly rough run across Havasu on Memorial weekend. Essentially, it does not appear that the unit is receiving any power. I cannot even eject the disk cartridge to get my CD's out.
I have traced back the lines and it would appear (?) that power would be provided to the unit through the control cable that runs from the head unit (also a Sony). I pulled the head unit and checked all of the connections, so it doesn't appear to be a loose wire. By the way, the head unit itself seems to be working normally. So, my question is...what is the most likely source of the problem?
a) Is the CD changer itself damaged or would it have an internal circuit breaker of some sort?
b) Is it likely that the control cable got pinched somewhere between the head unit and the changer?
c) Is it possible that there is something wrong with the head unit?
I would appreciate any thoughts...
