GARMIN stays black

[Mindyourstep]

Hello, good day,

It has been a long time since I'm in my Pacific Coastal transporting some locals from one to another freezing cold place in Canada, in the cosy warm heated cabin of my SAAB...what am I talking? Sorry...I just want to say that I recall turning a knob on the GARMIN and the screen will light up. Now suddenly nothing happens; the screen stays black. Is there something I miss? All avionics are on, though. I'm going VOR to VOR right now, as long as that helps me find my way.

All the best.

Hi,

are you flying with the same machine? Read something about this issue in the passenger version (and I had it in there too). Cargo is working fine.

Hi, I tried cargo, same issue. I've read that too. It also said something about changing a data ref: sim/cockpit/electrical/avionics=0, change it to "1"...That did not solve it either. Strange, I remember to have the Garmin working a time ago.

There is a "ghost bug" with GPSs. Sometime they do not work for no particular reason, and after a couple of flights, fix themselves. 

Restart a couple times the sim to see if has been fixed. Switch a few different aircrafts, some with no GPS, and go back to see if has been fixed.

Thanks for the info. I'll try...in the mean time, good opportunity practicing VOR-to-VOR..

edit: (4 days later). GARMIN is connected again to power socket and working. (With or without it...such a great plane to hop around the ortho-photoscenery covered Hawaii islands!)
