This happened to me. I was forgetting to push the cd lid close button cuz I haven't installed a switch yet. Make sure you are doing that or nothing will work.

Can't really help you with the speakers. I am no expert, but make sure they are connected. I have no idea about a fuse.
I feel the need...

for the speakers make sure you solder the three head phone pins together. and for the lazer you could have a broken ribbon cable.... is it in backwards??? or maby a broken drive plug??? :?
