I was driving home from work today listening to music and suddenly there was a slight pop in my speakers and my head unit froze up .I stopped turned off the rig and the faceplate stayed lit up. I disconnected the faceplate from the receiver then put it back on and now I have no power in my h/u did I blow a fuse?

Did you check the fuses?
Honestly... How would WE know? You are there AT the car, and therefore quite a bit closer than we are. Check them, and then if they're blown, then yes, you blew a fuse... (or maybe even more...)
If not, then there is likely something wrong with your deck.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I do not think a blown fuse is your problem.  Sounds more like a broken radio to me.

I was asking because i dont have the tools to take my radio out and just wanted an idea of what the problem might be so that when i took it to the shop they wouldnt be able to burn me.

Why do you think anyone will "burn" you?  Take it back where you bought it, especially if it's under warranty.

Removing a radio is usually pretty simple...If your really concerned about paying for stuff you dont need...You need to pull the radio out...Bench test...then decide next course of action... Even stop by a shop and have them release the radio for you...Should be super cheap...if not free...!

The reason is because ive had that happen to me before,I took my truck to a shop and had them test my h/u ,The tech supposedly tested it and told me the deck was toast I had bought it from an online retailer and did not want to wait for a new h/u under warranty from them so I bought one from the shop and sent the "defective h/u in .It turned out the fuse in the h/u was blown and the online retailer sent the same h/u back to me with a new fuse and the h/u worked fine!!! So I was out 300 bucks for the new h/u plus the shipping of the old h/u.thats why i ask

Yeah...That kinda sucks...eclipse cd3200 blown fuse? -- posted image.        Did you pay them for diagnostic on radio...???  If so...I would of probably gave them a call...and returned the radio I purchased from them...But anyhow...You really need to pull the radio...Past checking the vehicles fuses...Most have either the blade fuse,usually around the harness...or the glass fuse in-line w/ power and accessory wires...So basically you have to pull that radio , before we can even begin to start guessing...??? I am an Idiot said that just from the description you gave...it sounds to him like it imight be the radio itself...? Do you own a Multi-meter...? If someone walked up to the shop and asked to use a set of radio keys...And handed me 5-10 bucks...No problem...! Then there will be no worries about good radio or not...buying another or not...!

I bought some radio keys today and pulled it checked the connections with a dmm everything was good on the vehicle side of the harness,so I assume that the h/u is bad correct?
