Has anybody still have the blank screen issue?
Mine did it last night blank screen but the hdmi is still working when hooked to my tv.
Is there a software fix for this? I am on the stock 10.26.1.18 4.3 JB.
The touch screen still work when hooked up to the tv though hdmi just the screen is off.
Is it something to do with smart saver mode or display sleep.
I used the hdmi hookup to factory rest and shut off and when I plugged the tablet back in the screen started working again, I hope somebody can help because I really love the tablet otherwise.
Thanks

You could have a loose connection or your backlight may be on it's way out....
But if it works now - just enjoy it! ;)

To rule out software you can either:
a) reflash the same firmware you are on now
b) flash one of the KitKat updates. You are 2 updates behind on the latest firmware for this tablet :)

Quite a few users are reporting massive battery drain during sleep on the latest 11.4.1.27 firmware though. Don't know if I can recommend to update to that right now..... You cannot go back once you updated!

It seems to be working now, I factory reset the tablet twice and shut smart saver off, I hope it keeps working the tablet is fast and can do everything I need it for. Do you know any stress test I can do on the tablet to see if it happens again?
Thanks
