Up to this point the EFIS 5400 has worked fine. A couple days ago while on a long cross country the screen went dark for 20 seconds and then come back on. The system has an AIRINC to the TRUTRAK autopilot and the autopilot did not trip off so a complete power failure isn't the problem I don't think. Suspect dimmer, maybe. If over heat should get other messages.
Ideas?
There are a couple of levels of "reboot" that we see, sometimes there is a data sensitivity in that will cause the application to close and then come right back. You will normally see a small X on the screen when this happens. System logs can show some valuable data in these issues. Use SET -> LOGS -> SYSTEM and we could try and see what it was. Reply and attach the *.ALS file.
Other times the hardware will hiccup in some way and normally you see the AFS logo screens come up. I don't think you saw this so lets start with the logs.
