Why is the central control screen of the Magotan not lighting up?

The reason why the central control screen of the Magotan does not light up is: a malfunction in the central control system. If it is within the warranty period, you can go to the 4S store for a free replacement. The Magotan is a mid-size car with a body size of 4865mm in length, 1832mm in width, and 1471mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. The front suspension of the Magotan is a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4T turbocharged engine, with a maximum horsepower of 150 hp, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, and a maximum power of 110 kW. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've noticed the issue of non-illuminating central control screens in Magotans is quite common. Just last week, we handled several cases in the workshop. The most likely cause is a blown fuse located in the fuse box under the steering wheel - simply replace the corresponding 15A fuse. If the screen still doesn't light up after replacement, wiring issues should be considered, possibly a loose connector behind the screen or water corrosion. Once I encountered a bizarre case where the owner's DIY dashcam installation caused a short circuit in the central control power supply. For such electronic failures, never force a reboot as it may damage the motherboard - it's safer to directly connect diagnostic equipment at the dealership to read error codes. Actually, turning off the screen before locking the car can extend its lifespan. Volkswagen's current generation touchscreens are indeed somewhat delicate.
I just encountered a black screen issue with the central control last month while using navigation—it suddenly went dark. First, I tried a forced restart by holding the power button for 10 seconds, but there was no response at all. Then, I checked the manual to locate the fuse, only to find it wasn’t blown. Finally, I drove to a friend’s shop for inspection. The technician said it was caused by a system crash and fixed it by reprogramming with a computer. Actually, a common issue with the Magotan could also be temperature-related; it’s prone to overheating protection after being exposed to intense summer heat, but parking in the shade for half an hour usually restores it. Additionally, an outdated software version might suddenly freeze—just go for an upgrade. It’s advisable not to install too many third-party apps, as the car’s system has limited memory and can easily freeze.
