How to Fix the Black Screen Issue on Roewe i5's Central Control?
3 Answers
When the central control screen does not light up, the first step is to check the battery—whether it is functioning normally and has sufficient power. If the central control battery is in good condition, restart the central control to see if it can boot up normally. If the issue persists after these steps, it is recommended to visit a 4S store for further inspection and repair.
Last time my Roewe i5's central control screen went black, it was quite annoying. The most common cause is usually a system crash where the screen doesn't respond after starting the engine. The simplest solution is to try turning the car off and restarting it - completely shut down the vehicle, wait about five minutes, then start it again. If that doesn't work, it might be a software issue; try holding down the power button on the central control for about 15 seconds to force a system reset. It's important to back up your settings data to avoid losing navigation history. On the hardware side, blown fuses are quite common - check the fuse box under the dashboard labeled 'Multimedia' to see if that fuse is burned out. Replacing it yourself costs just a few dollars. In my case, a restart fixed the issue, but if the black screen persists long-term, you should visit a 4S shop to check the wiring connections or screen hardware. For preventive maintenance, regularly update your car's infotainment system to avoid software-related issues from outdated systems.
Don't worry if you encounter a black screen on the Roewe i5's central console, I've dealt with it several times. Most cases are just screen freezes—turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, and restart; it usually works. Don't forget to check the fuses, located in the small box under the steering wheel. Look for the fuse labeled something like 'Infotainment'—if it's blown, replacing it yourself is simple. For software issues, hold down the power button for ten seconds to force a system reboot, which often wakes up the screen. Occasionally, it's due to poor wiring contact—you might need to remove the panel and check if the connectors at the back are secure. Hardware damage is rare, but if the screen is truly broken, visit a professional repair shop. My car just needed a reboot to fix the freeze, so develop a habit of quick pre-drive checks to prevent issues on the road.
