After disconnecting the battery you usualy have to recode the radio ... what does the display say ???  If it says "safe" its waiting for the code to be input.. :)

It sounds like the aerial has become disconnected at some point but I don't see how that could have happened seeing as you did not touch the radio.  Maybe it's just the tuner part of the radio has gone kaput or shorted somehow when battery power was restored?

Sometimes the bands/presets alter themselves, press AS (Autostation tune) or UML (bands), it should switch to it's presets again. When the system is functioning correctly, the RDS system should show up the station names. Don't crank the volume up too high though!
