Hi all,
Been reading through the forums since getting my MG5 Ev at the end of March (new) and have loved it so far. Now I have a problem, I thought it worth a quick post, mainly to confirm my suspicions. I've been through the threads and there are similar issues but none with quite the same issue but if anyone wants to direct me to a pertinent thread, then no worries.
Yesterday, jumped in the car, had charged it to 80% overnight from a home charger point and plugged in my iphone as normal. Music came on via iphone but no screen. Then constant attempts at reboot with the MG logo appearing, some clicks then back to black. This happened when driving to work, at lunch and the end of the day. Rear camera when reversing still works, and if I plug phone in then the apple music screen appears and will play but screen completely non responsive. Assumed here that it us reading it from my phone and then nothing else. After reading through threads etc. I have tried the following:
1) Holding down the power button for 20-30 seconds on the unit. It will reboot it to the MG logo then die again.
2) Removed the negative cable from the 12v battery for 20 minutes, reattached and then powered up to ready. Car came back alive but entertainment centre the same.
3) Tried to check fuses but struggled to trace the fuse for the entertainment centre to see if it had blown.
I've called my dealership who have said it is at least 3 weeks before they can look at it and with a very long journey this weekend, I think I'm going without the entertainmnet system. More worried that it constantly cycling will cause issues.
I suspect the issue is that it needs rebooting and system restarting from scratch via software update or possibly a hardware fault which means I need to wait those 3 weeks. I've experienced issues with the screen restarting or not booting but had always rectified itself within 1-2 goes and this seemed pretty typical from what I had read.
Anyone had the same?
Cheers,
Chris
