Here are the specific steps to handle a car display screen that doesn't light up: 1. Check whether the power supply to the display screen is normal. If the power supply is abnormal, replace the power supply module. 2. Check whether the cable connection is good. If the connection is poor, promptly inspect the wiring for any loose connections that may cause the central control screen to go black. Reconnect any loose parts properly. 3. Check whether the display screen is damaged. Replace the display screen for testing. If it returns to normal, the display screen is damaged. If the power supply is normal and the cable connection is good, check the video output signal from the motherboard and test by replacing the motherboard.

Buddy, I've encountered the issue of a black car display screen several times. Generally, the most common cause is a blown fuse. Open the fuse box, locate the fuse corresponding to the display system, and try replacing it with a spare or new fuse. If the fuse is fine, check if the wiring connectors are loose or corroded; especially in humid conditions after rain, oxidation at the connectors can easily cause a short circuit. Another trick: turn off the engine, remove the key, wait for 5 minutes, and then restart to see if the software can reboot—it's quite common for in-car entertainment systems to crash. Don't ignore this minor issue; the display screen is crucial for navigation, reverse camera images, and safety alerts. Delaying repairs might damage the entire circuit board, which would be expensive to replace. I recommend avoiding parking in direct sunlight or rain and regularly cleaning the button area with a soft brush to prevent accumulated problems. If I can't fix it myself, I'd take it to a repair shop to check for motherboard issues—safety first, as driving with a black screen can be distracting and dangerous.

Why Can't Eagle Flag Engine Oil Be Purchased Online?

Different industries have different marketing channels, so some engine oils cannot be purchased online. Here is a partial introduction to engine oil: 1. Composition: Engine oil consists of two parts: base oil and additives. The base oil is the main component of lubricating oil, determining its basic properties, while additives are an important part of the lubricating oil. 2. Types of engine oil: The winter oil grades classified by SAE lubricant viscosity are 0W, 5W, 10W, 15W, etc. The symbol W stands for winter, and the smaller the number before W, the lower the low-temperature viscosity and the lower the applicable minimum temperature. The summer oil grades classified by SAE lubricant viscosity are 20, 30, 40, 50. The larger the number, the higher the viscosity and the higher the applicable maximum temperature.

What are the test items for the C2 Subject 2 exam?

The C2 Subject 2 exam consists of 4 test items: reversing into a garage, parallel parking, curve driving, and right-angle turns. In some regions, there is also an additional item for highway toll card collection. Compared to the C1 manual transmission exam, the C2 exam does not include the hill start item. According to Article 25 of the "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses" (Ministry of Public Security Order No. 123), starting from June 1, 2021, the C2 and C5 Subject 2 exams no longer assess the hill start and stop item. Reversing into a garage is one of the more challenging items in the Subject 2 exam, so many test centers have made it the first test item in Subject 2. The requirement is to follow the designated route and sequence, ensuring the vehicle is fully reversed into the garage without crossing lines, brushing lines, or stalling. Students should slow down, observe the left and right rearview mirrors carefully before fully entering the garage, identify the correct entry points, and make decisive adjustments to the vehicle's position. Parallel parking focuses on aligning the front line of the parking space with the rear wheel reference point, observing the rear corner in the mirror, and maintaining the distance between the wheel and the left dashed line. After parking, there is no need to straighten the wheels, but do not forget to use the turn signal when exiting. The vehicle body must not exceed the lines when stopped, and the tires must not touch or cross the lane boundary lines during movement. Curve driving, commonly known as the S-curve, is manageable for many students with good driving intuition, who can complete it "by feel," indicating its relatively low difficulty. However, some students misjudge the line positions during the actual exam, leading to immediate failure by crossing the lines. The key to the S-curve is observing the reference points on the front hood and the boundary lines. The wheels must not press against the road edges. Right-angle turns are even simpler, essentially a breakdown of the exiting step from the reversing into a garage item. The method for finding the reference points is the same as for exiting—using the relationship between the front hood's horizontal line and the front boundary line (either aligning exactly or slightly delaying). Ensure the wheels do not touch the road edges. Completing the required training hours is a basic requirement for taking the Subject 2 exam. Training hours can only be increased, not reduced. If additional test items are added, corresponding training hours must also be increased. Each training hour is 60 minutes, with effective teaching time no less than 45 minutes. If a student fails the Subject 2 exam, they can retake it once. If they fail the retake, the exam session ends, and the applicant must reschedule the exam after 10 days. If the student fails five consecutive exam attempts (including retakes, totaling 10 attempts), all previously passed subject scores will be voided, and the student must restart from Subject 1.

Is the C2 Subject 2 Test Easy to Pass?

C1 or C2 Subject 2 tests are basically the same in difficulty, including reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, curve driving, and in some areas, a fifth item of high-speed toll card collection. The passing score for the C2 Subject 2 test is 80 points. For some vehicle types, a score of 90 is required to pass. These vehicle types include large buses, tractors, city buses, medium-sized buses, and large trucks. For these vehicle types, a score of 90 is needed in Subject 2. Other vehicle types only require 80 points to pass, and since C2 is for automatic transmission cars, 80 points are sufficient. During the test, paying attention to small details and avoiding more than two minor point deductions can help you pass smoothly. Each Subject 2 test has two attempts. If you fail the first time, there is a free retake opportunity on the spot. About 30% pass on the first try, and with those who pass on the retake, the overall pass rate is around 60%. Both Subject 2 and Subject 3 have only five test attempts. If you fail the fifth test, all previously passed subjects will be invalidated, and you will need to retake the driving test.

Will insurance cover water damage to a car caused by heavy rain?

If the car is parked on the roadside or in a garage and gets flooded due to heavy rain, and the engine is not started after the flooding, the insurance company should provide compensation. Here is more information about insurance: 1. Cause: The primary party responsible for the damage is the other party. If the other party cannot be found after the collision, a police accident report is required, and your own insurance company will only cover 70% of the cost. 2. Other expenses: Under the death and disability compensation limit and the no-fault death and disability compensation limit, the insurance covers funeral expenses, death compensation, transportation costs for the victim's relatives to attend the funeral, disability compensation, disability aid equipment costs, nursing fees, rehabilitation fees, transportation fees, living expenses for dependents, accommodation fees, lost wages, and mental distress compensation as determined by court judgment or mediation.
