Chevy My Link Screen went black (FIX)

Ep:1

My Link screen on my 2015 Camaro went completely black one day and the screen worked, I just couldn't see anything. Here is how I fixed it. Step1: Disconnect the negative battery cable from your battery, then the positive(red). Battery is located in the trunk where the spare tire would be. Wait a few minutes before reconnecting. When reconnecting, connect positive cable first and connect the negative cable last. For window reprogramming, watch the steps on the video.

Here is my other video describing how to disconnect the battery

After driving mine for 6 years and JUST PAYING IT OFF last month, I glance over at my screen to see how cold it is outside, radio on.... aaaand black screen. Of course. I mean, I paid it off right? These are thing I have grown to expect in life. But thank gawd for YT and helpful folk. I'll be doing this tomorrow when the sun comes up. Thank you!

Yo!! Thank you SO MUCH!! Unhooked battery for 15 min and BAM! drove around for 2 months just using Bluetooth connection by the buttons on the wheel. You're saving people thousands of dollars and we appreciate you!

I want to thank you for this video! I had the same exact issues as you. The radio screen black, but everything else was functioning. Although I read all of the positive comments I still was hesitant to do it. Took it to the dealership thinking it wasn’t going to be that expensive. They told me it would cost me $2, 000, because they didn’t know the exact pieces I needed to fix my screen. I took my car home, and figured I would just give it a try. It worked and I didn’t have to reprogram my windows!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Hey man, thanks so much. I was on the road from NJ to Florida when my screen went blank, none of the other fixes worked for me either. Disconnecting the battery worked. Nothing worse than having a 20 hr drive & being blind on your Mylink screen.

Had the exact same symptoms. This worked for me! Battery is in the trunk under the spare. Remove -ve then +ve, then wait 10 mins and replace +ve then -ve. Had to do the window thing as mentioned in video. Thanks so much for posting!!

WOW.... 😲 that worked! Over a week of black screen and reading online etc... Thank you! I did it right now 2am waited 20 mins and bam! It's alive!
Dealer wanted $105 just to look at it...

Have a 2014 Camaro, this morning after a few errands the screen was black, just as stated the screen performed, so I will follow your lead to bring it back. Many thanks!

My 2015 Camaro 2SS did this same thing yesterday. I looked it up and found this video, did what you said and it all came back just like yours did. Thanks.

Eddie, your a life saver. Mine went off today (3/5/23) and I will have to fix it tomarrow after I get home from work. I don't really use my radio anyway but, it's nice to know I can fix it without too much trouble. Thank You so much.

Dude. I spoke with Onstar (who said they could do a reset) and wasted about 20 minutes. They eventually said take it to a dealer for repair. I took it to the dealer, who wanted $175 to "Diagnose" the issue, not counting actually fixing it. I promptly went back home and did Google. Your video was the first to come up. Went out, found the battery (lol, didn't know it was in the trunk), unconnected the negative, smoked a cig, reconnected, and Boom! Everything was right back to normal. The car guided me through resetting the windows and I was done. Thank you for this video! I kinda feel like I should send you some of that $175 you saved me from the Dealer.

I went with a black screen for an entire year with this issue. After I saw this video I still had my doubts being how I had to mess with the battery and all. Well it worked!! Unplugged negative connection first then positive connection, left it disconnected for about ten minutes then reconnected battery once again. Turned on my car and could not believe that I had a working screen again. Plus I didn't have to reprogram the windows either. Thank you for this video.

Dude, you are a champion...I had a similar issue and I did it as you said and worked like s charm. When I took it to the dealer he said let’s replace it and the new one would cost $1200 including labor charges.

Thank you so much for posting this video!! My 2014 Camaro just had the exact same issue - screen black but touch still works. Disconnected the battery, waited 20 minutes, reconnected and screen back to normal. Appreciate the info about resetting the windows, as I had to do that too.

Thank you for this video. Took only about 5 minutes and it worked! Glad I didn't jump the gun and take it to the dealership. Lord knows how much they would have charged me to fix. :)

My screen just did that on Saturdayafter taking it to the dealership to get some work done. Noticed it right after i left and i was in a hurry to get somewhere.
Just now got to work on a Monday as I found your video. Will update later if it worked for me!

Thank you for sharing your experience. My 2010's radio blanked out along with the internal lights as well as my cooling fan not fully powering up. This fixed everything. You're the man. Much appreciated sir.

[doctor]

Thanks so much. Had this problem on my 2016 Chevy Volt, followed your procedure and it works. Saved me a lot of headache and most likely some money.

[sharpstat]

Thank you so much for this video. My 2013 car had it's screen go blank over a month and a half ago! It worked as per the video. I have a backup camera once again.

[meechmcfly]

Lifesaver. I’ve seen driving without the display for weeks. Finally came across your video. Waited for about 15-20 min and it worked like a charm.

[biancam.velasquez]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I was so terrified when my screen would not light up. After trying everything I thought I was going to have to take it to the mechanic. But your video was right on the money. Thank you for all of the help you would not believe how appreciative your advice is.
