he has a circuit tester...
run a wire to your battery or a known good source of power to the memory wire & see if it hold the programs. if it does you know your head unit is working properly & it's the constant power wire is the problem, search for another constant power wire that has good power & connect the memory wire into that...
while you are playing under the dash, check all your earths are on bare metal & they are tight!!!

buy yourself a multimeter. I think you can get a digital unit for under 20 bucks. Then check your source wire for voltage. If its below 12volts find another. Its really a simple fix.

check your fuses and check how good the connection is, otherwise you can find a constant power wire from the clock that is suitable for the memory wire on the stereo
