Need More Info!!!
It won't come on while the engine is running? It's not on while parked and off? Not on when the "OFF" button is pressed?????
It's hard to troubleshoot problems when nothing is known about the problem.
Please be as specific as possible so someone can help.

 

The most likely cause: low battery voltage!

 

Totally agree!
Search the XK forum for CTEK and you will gain a lot of knowledge.
After that, go buy a Battery Maintainer (doesn't have to be a CTEK, any one will work) and you will be glad you did.
In the meantime, make sure you ALWAYS lock (even double-lock) to make sure all the electronics go to sleep when parked and off.

 

on my 12 vert which is connected to a Ctek battery minder I have had two instances in the last week when the infotainment screen did not come on after starting the car. Both times I shut the car down and locked it using the key fob , once one hit on the lock button and the other time two hits on the lock button. I then restarted the car and the infotainment screen came up immediately. So long story short all though it may well be a battery issue, that is not always the case.

 

Like I first said......
MORE INFORMATION REQUIRED!!!
