I left the car in the paking lot with the sunroof shade open all day. The electronics might have gotten too hot. OR just a glitch from the ghosts in the machine. Anyway, I learned something. MBUX controls a lot of systems, entertainment ( a given) but also the cameras and parking sensors thus you get a lot of warnings about all systems associated with those as "inoperative". The drivers screen and all the drivetrain systems work independently (thank God). The AC works but you cant control it since the mainscreen is inoperative. So in summary, MBUX control all the tech we like and some that is almost indispensible like the parking cameras and radar. Given the car's very restrictive sightlines the systems are essential, particularly when backing up. As we are all aware, in reverse you are almost blind otherwise.
I asked "Mercedes how she was feeling and she said she was fine. I also asked her if she had a boyfriend and she said "preffered to be single. Finally I asked to be my girlfriend and she said "I get asked that lot"

So, this happened to me today, after golf. (and on a relatively cool day in San Antonio). The tablet is out, with all it's functions. No music,maps, etc. No cameras for parking, no lane change assist, blind spot assist, parking assist. AC works, but you can't control it. Car drives fine, cruise control works. No problem toggling through recouperation processes. Anyway, tried locking it and leaving it for the last several hours....didn't work. Tried plugging it in, it is charging, but that hasn't resolved the issue. Tried holding the phone and star buttons like the Youtube video, didn't work. (could only use the ones on the steering wheel). Have 8700 miles on the clock, and this is my first problem. Taking it in in the morning.

And that may, indeed, be the case in the morning. I'm taking it in anyway to let them look at it, and to do the Tow Hook thread recall. Kinda weird, when you get used to all the amenities, to drive home in total silence! And, backing out of the parking place without all the assistance was thrilling, let me tell you.

Update: So, from Noonish yesterday after golf, until I went to bed last night, the tablet screen remained blank, and the MBUX was off. The car charged normally yesterday, except that the charging pause I had programmed in from Noon til 8:30PM didn't work (in MBUX, I guess). This morning all was well. I did get a popup notification that the rear wheel steering was now activated and available for use.....it has been working for 8500 miles. I took the car in to get the recall deal done, and because MB wants to check it out. I, now, also believe this may have been a very long OTA update, because the charging pause is still not there, even though MBUX is functioning normally. I'll let you know what MB says when I get it back.

This has happened to me in the past, however it always reset itself within a short period of time, within 15 minutes. What was most concerning was prior to the MBUX shutting down i heard a very loud “pop”, has anyone experienced this sound? The noise was alarming due to it sounded like a small firecracker.

2nd Update: MB has had my car all day, and will keep it until tomorrow. They do not believe it was an OTA update gone rogue. They say there is a software update campaign to address this issue with the MBUX, and they will install that update (about 3-4 hours) tomorrow. Hopefully, this issue will then be solved. Will keep you posted. The tow hook recall, BTW, required no action as all was well.

3rd/final update: Got my car back today. They did a software update. This definitely seems to be an update, as things were in different places in MBUX, took me a while to figure out where the stuff was and to recreate my previous settings. Definitely different appearance in sound, phone, and navi. Had to re-pair my phone, set up my favorites, etc. Had to recreate and save the Burmester settings, and it took a while to discover the pulldown menu for doing that and setting what I want displayed on maps, etc. Had to rescan my fingerprint. So, hopefully, the blank tablet problem has been solved forever. I will reiterate that the next morning, prior to taking the car in, everything was back to normal except for some missing settings like charging pauses. Had to do those over again this time also, so I still wonder if it was just an OTA update which took a long time. Will never know at this point. The GLB 250 I drove for the weekend was a nice car, but really glad to be back in my EQS.....I definitely missed it!

Finished dinner in a restaurant, went out to the EQS 580 and the hypersceen and all the electronic nannies (lane keeping, Adaptive cruise etc) wouldn't work. Was able to drive home because the instrument cluster still worked. 4220 miles on the car. Running flawless until now. Is this just a software fix? Is there a hard reset that I can perform like on my Teslas? Called the Premier Hotline and they were of no help. Some people think that the screen will reboot after a couple of hours, is that most peoples experiences?
Does anyone know the number of the software update. I’m at the dealership now and would like to give them the number.

Never had any of these system problems in 10 months with my 450,, but last night, after reading all these scary posts I dreamed about such a thing.
Not good.

Sounds about right. I assume your screen recovered after a "sleep"? Thought this was rare with the latest SW release, hopefully no misbehaving HW.
