Odd problem - no chimes, no radio

[noelage]

Hi all,

I have a 2000 Sunfire SE. Standard radio - non Bose, non OnStar. A while ago, my radio went - or so I thought. I had some popping from the passenger front speaker. Then, nothing. I have also in this lost the chimes (keys in ignition, lights left on etc.) chimes.

I assumed this was related to the deck, so I went out and purchased an aftermarket deck, with a chime bypass. when I wired everything up, the chime bypass worked - got the chimes from the new box. but, I still have no output from the radio - I have attempted to use both a CD and the radio, and still no output. I plugged the factory deck back in to test, and again no output altogether. I'm at a loss, and have no idea what the problem could be. Any ideas?
