It could be ugly

If the shock was high the component board may have lost some of it's connections...in general big and heavy parts brake of by inertia...like connectors and stuff like that....

I might be stating the obvious but, I'm assuming you know a security code needs to be programmed every time the unit is disconnected ?

I think he does, he has no power to do it though.

As Octavian_P says i think dropping it will have caused the problem in that something will have broken, Dont think a fuse will help.

An auto electrician will probably be more expensive than a new unit

Unless you have a look inside and see if you can see anything loose then its another radio i'm afraid.
