Why Does the Mercedes-Benz Center Control Screen Go Black?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz center control screen goes black due to poor line contact or aging of the power signal line. Below are the main differences between imported Mercedes-Benz and domestically produced Mercedes-Benz: 1. Workmanship: For domestic vehicles, starting with the doors, the treatment of corners and sheet metal is very rough. Moving to the driver's seat area, the edges of plastic parts and material installations around the throttle and brake pedals, as well as under the steering wheel, often have burrs. The trunk and storage spaces lack any protection. Domestically produced Mercedes-Benz vehicles often cut corners, a phenomenon rarely seen in imported models. 2. Precision: In domestically produced Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the chassis and some plastic assembly parts often lack screws where they should be installed. 3. Configuration: Domestically produced models are more expensive in terms of configuration compared to imported ones.
I've encountered the black screen issue on my Mercedes central control display several times. It might be due to software freezing, and holding the power button for 10 seconds to reboot usually works. Sometimes lagging occurs when the system is overloaded. Another possibility could be a blown fuse - open the fuse box and check the group for headlights or audio system by gently pulling to see if it's melted. If it's a hardware issue like loose wiring or a faulty screen itself, you'll need to visit a professional repair shop - don't attempt DIY fixes to avoid damaging more components. Other factors like low battery voltage or overheating can also cause black screens. In such cases, park the car to cool down for a few minutes before trying again, and remember to turn off unnecessary electronic devices to reduce load. For daily driving, pay attention to system updates as Mercedes software sometimes has bugs in older versions - just keep it connected to check for updates regularly.
