How to Fix a Black Screen on Car Navigation?
2 Answers
Perhaps the working time is too long, it is recommended to turn off the device and let it rest for a while, then reset it. Press and hold the power button for more than 5 seconds. If the screen does not light up and the power LED green light does not turn on or immediately turns off, it indicates the battery is out of power. Use the standard adapter to charge it.
Last time during a long-distance drive, the navigation suddenly went black. I figured out a few key points. First, check the power supply: see if the cigarette lighter plug is loose or if there’s dirt in the USB port. Second, force a restart: hold the power button for more than 10 seconds; some models require pressing the volume button simultaneously. Third, inspect the fuse: look for a 10A fuse labeled 'NAVI' or 'AUDIO' in the manual—spare fuses are usually hidden inside the fuse box cover. If the wiring has been modified, prioritize checking the connections of aftermarket devices. Once, a client’s navigation went black because a small spider had spun a web on the screen’s ribbon cable connector, causing a short circuit. In summer and autumn, static electricity and overheating can also trigger protective shutdowns—parking and turning off the engine for half an hour often helps.
