thats a tricky one have you tried soldering the wire back on and make sure all the conections are back in make sure your dimmer switch for the dash is connected or the dash will not light up either

maybe because the wire was loose its has short circuited and blown a fuse. the radio and parts of the dash are on the same circuit.
check in the handbook which fuse the radio is on and try replacing the fuse, normally you can see if they have blown but sometimes you cant tell so its best to replace with one you know is good.

iv now watched the video, i would say its probably a loose connection (maybe in that connection block), or something to do with that blue light strip thingy you have there.
