If you look at RealOEM, they list all of the part numbers that interchange.

Since I posted in here last, I've only had this happen to me 1 more time. I'm just going to keep waiting it out. Worst case if it shits the bed I can put my original back in for the time being until I get another new one or find a service that repairs them.
Thanks for the info! I was able to find the amp (that sucker is huge) and pull the part number. I also tried manually power cycling the unit which did nothing. Now on to looking for an appropriate replacement that won't break the bank. I tried doing additional research, but does anyone know if other users have been able to upgrade/replace the OEM B&O system with a plug and play aftermarket amp? (using a harness or some sort of adapter)
