try pressing 1-4-8 at the same time to do a soft reset of the radio. The screen will fritz and the unit will turn off after the reset.

Try removing relevant fuse for PCM with ignition off, wait a minute then replace and try again ???
There may be a fuse behind the module only accessed by removing it unf.

Did you have a PPI done on the car to see if anything was wrong?

Seems like a small electrical issue which shouldn't be too hard to fix! Best of luck!

My Range Rover (MOST system) does this once a year. I remove all fuses even remotely associated with the radio or nav. Replace and it works. IIRC there are 4 fuses total.

I occasionally get stereo gremlins where nothing comes out of it, but restarting the car always clears it (?)
