Exclamation Sudden loss of all screens

I parked car and went to the sore for about 8 min, came back and all my screens were blank and black. No signal at all, I started the car without any issue and decided to drive. I was not able to see anything, including signal light, I could hear this popping sound one in a while in the area of side pillar. I was not sure if any light were functioning, so drove very carefully for about 3 miles and suddenly everything started to appear,. It was almost like your car cmputers were rebooting. Everything came back and started to function as usual. I am still wondering if I should call service centre for that. The car is 2025 GLC300.

Yeah it sounds abnormal. Sometimes the screens are a bit laggy on start-up, but like a few seconds and not minutes.

Same happened to our 2025 glc 350e a few months ago. We've had it for a little more than a year now and it's only happened once. It was right after the mbux 3.3 update installed. Don't know if it was a coincidence but hopefully it won't happen again. The car was completely inoperable since not only the infotainment screen was gone but the entire cluster showing speed gears etc. Left it locked for about 30 minutes and it's as if nothing happened.

Similarly to 818benz, we had one incident with ours that has not repeated. Car started up next really but both screens were black. Got out, locked it with the fob, waited 10 minutes, unlocked with the fob, and everything was normal thereafter.

Same here. Happened once a month ago after parking the car for an hour and then trying to start. All worked except fro the MBUX. Got out, locked/unlocked the car and when started engine again, MBUX screens were back.

This has not occurred on my CLE 53 - but when I had a C7 corvette it occurred about 3 or 4 times a year. The members at the corvette forum suggested Shutting down car, open door, close door, lock. Wait 5 minutes and then start car. Fixed it every time.
