Hi I have c63s and today the black screen won't turn on!!! I've tried ever button but all that comes on is the rear view camera and the aircon display! I can't get the radio,navi or get the car settings up!!! Has anyone had this problem?
This is one of those "is your computer plugged in?" questions, but have you made sure you didn't turn it off with the on/off button? It's the volume control wheel in the center (near the touch pad... small one). It is not just a scroll wheel, but a button. Press it to make the screen go dark. Not sure if some things still display when you do that like climate.
No I think it's a software or comand console issue! I've pressed every button and even if I wanted to turn the screen off when it was working I don't think you can. It always stays on.
I've tried everything and thinking of disconnecting the battery terminals and reconnecting

You CAN turn the screen off by pressing the button I talked about. That's why I mentioned it. A lot of people don't know it's a button. They just think it's a scroll wheel. Just making sure that you tried that one in your "pressing every button" routine (just because not everyone knows that it's actually a button).

This is the button I'm talking about:
I feel sooooo dumb right now! Datalink I owe u big time!! Your right it worked. I thought u meant the round scroll thing!!!
Haha well welcome me to the forums. I just took delivery of my c43 and this exact problem happened to me and i didnt see that the volume scroll wheel is marked with a tiny power symbol.

That button only switches the radio on/off. Or when long pressed the screen in the middle can be turned off.
The car I drive randomly opens with both screens remaining pitch black. No speed info, no sat nav, no radio, media or phone information at all.
I press the command button when the car goes "what would you like to do?" Then I say "display on", then there car responds "display is on" when in reality, no, both displays are actually black.
Thanks so much. I had no idea it was a button. I had adjusted the volume and then though the system had failed. Turned out I pressed the button!

Thank you dadalink7 this is the fix for a black screen. I have a ‘21 G63 and my screens were black this morning. You saved me!!! I did have to hold down on the “power” button for five seconds before the screen turned on though.
Thanks again!

the LCD blacked out today. I pressed for more than a minute the eject button, no result. Pressed the power button for more than a minute no result, the volume button no result as well,
Anyone can help please.
thanks
Good evening, i have a 08 cl 63 AMG and the command center screen was going in and out. It is completely blacked out now. I have pressed down the on off roller wheel button and I have also held down the cd eject button for over 20 seconds. Any idea what else it could be? Thank you.
