Not saying this is necessarily officially recommended, but one option might be to flip the circuit breaker that powers the audio rack, let it sit for ~30 seconds or so, then switch the breaker back on. I don't know how long it takes the new system to boot up to recover from a power outage.

This happened a few weeks ago in my meetinghouse. Since the new pulpit touchscreen controls are connected to the networking equipment, in CNM I was able to reboot the switch used for a/v to bring the touch panel back online.

I learned from our Facilities Rep that the touch screen controller is held in with a magnet. If you pull up on the screen it will come out. If you unplug the connector in the back and then plug it back in and the system will reset. I was also told that we don't want to do this too often. I'm not sure if all systems are secured with a magnet but ours is and it looks the same as the photo shared in the previous post.

If I remember 5th grade science correctly, each time something is pulled away from a magnet, the magnet becomes slightly weaker.

Also, the connector may not be rated for unlimited disconnect/reconnect cycles, and there might be a slight risk of other problems from hot-unplug/plug.
