Weird problem with my xenarc..

Very strange indeed..

Some of you have reported the white screen problem where it turned out to be a loose display cable...

Well, once in a while I get the white screen, but it doesn't appear to be caused by a loose cable. If I cut the DC power to the screen and reapply it, it works fine.

Any ideas?

TIA

Did you ever find out what the problem was?? I seem to have developed the same problem.

I have a similar problem in cold weather. But the screen comes back after I warm up the interior of the car.

True. When I warm up the interior of my car and then reboot the system then the screen works fine. Perhaps the Xenarc needs time to warmup (overnight temps have hit the 30s).
