What is the cause of the black screen in the Haval H4 center console?
4 Answers
There are many reasons that can lead to a black screen, such as power supply, wiring, and dust contact issues. Below is relevant information about the Haval H4: 1. Exterior Design: In terms of appearance, the Haval H4 adopts a "minimalist" design concept. The Haval H4 Pro features an Ayers Gray + Orange-Red dual-tone dynamic body, with orange-red decorative strips on the front grille and fog lights, 18-inch smoked black wheels + orange-red calipers, and orange-red side mirrors. The Haval H4 Le Xiang Edition uses new high-gloss black aluminum alloy contrast wheels with a precision bright surface finish. The rear adopts a new bumper design with exposed dual-barrel exhaust pipes on both sides. 2. Interior Design: The interior space design is inspired by a "space cockpit." The floating center console screen connects with the secondary instrument panel to form a larger integrated unit, creating a floating center console. The dashboard and door panels are connected with an "integrated" horizontal strip. The interior comes in four color options: black, black-red, black-brown, and orange-black, all trendy and stylish.
I've been driving the Haval H4 for over five years, and the central control screen blackout issue has given me headaches several times. Here are a few common causes I've summarized: First, occasional software system crashes, just like a computer freezing, which might be resolved by restarting a few times; second, screen hardware failure due to aging or physical damage from squeezing; third, power supply issues, such as blown fuses or unstable voltage affecting power delivery; and loose connection cables, where plugs can easily get disconnected on bumpy roads. When dealing with it myself, I start with the simplest solutions, like checking the fuse box (located under the steering wheel) and replacing any blown fuses. If that doesn't work, I disconnect the battery's negative terminal for a few seconds and reconnect it to reboot the system. For prevention, avoid direct sunlight on the central control screen, perform regular software updates, don't install random apps that might cause conflicts, and maintain system stability. If the screen goes black, pull over immediately to check—safety first, don't let it affect driving.
My Haval H4's central control screen went black after just one year, which is so frustrating. After checking, I found many possible causes: software errors are the most common, where system update failures or background app conflicts can cause it to freeze; hardware failures like a broken screen or physical damage; loose power cables or blown fuses cutting off the power supply; external factors like overheating from parking in high temperatures causing automatic shutdown. My own solutions: I tried holding the power button to restart several times, and sometimes it worked; I also checked the fuse box under the rear seat storage compartment and replaced the corresponding central control fuse. There was also an issue when I modified the audio system, with significant line interference. Now, I'm more careful with the car—avoiding direct sunlight and reminding the service center to check the central control connections during quarterly maintenance.
Black screen in the center console of the Haval H4 is mostly caused by software bugs or hardware damage: system crashes and freezes require a restart; screen issues such as aging or cracks; blown fuses cutting off power supply; loose connectors prone to detachment. When dealing with it, first restart the system, check the fuse location, and ensure stable battery voltage. Software malfunctions are common, so timely updates can resolve the issue.
