What are the reasons for the non-illumination of the Qoros 5 central control screen?

Introduction to the reasons for the non-illumination of the Qoros 5 central control screen: 1. Power supply issues, third-party software incompatible with the system; 2. The software version is too outdated, causing system failure and inability to display properly, or screen damage; 3. Prolonged use leading to black screen due to aging circuits; 4. No image but still sound, which may indicate a loose power plug of the navigation display; 5. If there is neither sound nor image, it is likely that the DVD is faulty; 6. Severe battery depletion causing the vehicle's electrical equipment to malfunction. Additional information: The phenomenon of the car's central control screen not lighting up is most likely due to poor circuit contact. It is necessary to promptly check whether there is any loose connection in the circuit. If there is, it will naturally lead to a black screen of the central control screen. At this time, simply reconnecting the loose part properly will suffice.
I also encountered the issue with the Qoros 5's central control screen not lighting up last time, and it really stressed me out. Later, I found out it might just be the simplest fuse blown—the small box under the steering wheel on the left side. Open it, find the one labeled for the central control, pull it out, and check if the thin wire in the middle is broken. If it's broken, just spend a few bucks to replace it with a new one. If the fuse isn't blown, next try a system restart by holding the power button for more than 10 seconds. If that still doesn’t work, you’ll need to check the wiring connectors—many cars develop loose plugs due to prolonged vibration. Once when I opened it up, I found the ribbon cable was half loose, and pushing it back in fixed the issue. Lastly, consider if the screen itself is the problem—this is something you can’t handle on your own and will need to visit a 4S shop for professional equipment testing. Remember to park and turn off the engine before working on it; operating with live electricity is too dangerous.
After years of car repair experience, there are only a few common causes for the black screen issue in the Qoros 5's center console: The most common is a blown fuse—look for the 15A fuse labeled RADIO or NAV in the cabin fuse box. Next is system freeze, which can be resolved by power cycling. Pay special attention to wiring aging and short circuits; check the wiring harness connectors behind the glove compartment for looseness or oxidation. Screen hardware failure is actually rare, but issues with the backlight module can result in a display without illumination, which requires disassembly to diagnose. Another easily overlooked factor is battery power—voltage below 11 volts may cause the screen to malfunction. It's advisable not to dismantle the center console yourself, as the clips inside are particularly fragile and prone to breaking. Leave it to professional technicians, who can pinpoint the issue in just five minutes.
