Ok, then as @Samhain stated, check you house battery.
Is this a daily driver, or has she been parked for any long periods of time ?

Hi Johnny, I’ve been reading everyone’s posts about the infotainment centers on the Bentleys, I have a 2004 GT. 73k, runs really good, but it has the same issues. Screens blank, I hold the reset button down and I see a quick flash, then it’s blank again. Sometimes radio works most of the time it doesn’t. can you tell me what an aftermarket RVC is or stands for. Something aftermarket has. When added, I need to find out what it’s for and location. Any help is appreciated. Auto Outlet USA

Hello @Panamera Turbo ,
RVC = Rear View Camera.
I would remove the unit and bench test it for any resetting or blank screen, as what you are describing, is exactly how a 2004 GT acted with the failing NAV CD disc drive, once the shop finally pulled the unit and powered it up on the bench as I suggested numerous times, they finally understood what I was trying to explain, if the unit stays in operating order on the bench, than it is most likely or if not 100%, something else is causing the issue, as their thoughts were that they didn't care about the NAV working or not, or a CD changer with another, once these parties understood that other failing items could cause this exact failure of the head unit, they had me show up with the NAV drive and CD changer, once either drive on these 2004 and 2005 GT's were swapped, the head unit was up and running as designed
The aftermarket RVC for the lady in Cali, had to do with the failure of said aftermarket piece, it was soldered to the board of the head unit, along with it's own control board and ribbon cable, this head unit failed bench testing, as it constantly rebooted sitting on the bench, once I removed all aftermarket circuitry from the head unit, all was back to 100% operating order.
EDIT:
PLEASE SEE YOU PM INBOX.
