Mirror goes black after hours
-
Hello.
So ever since ive had my mirror the mirror will always go blank after about 8-10 hours of being on. I did have a notification about updating Magicmirror software which i did and it did not fix the issue. then did some research about updating node.js which i did. None of these have fixed the mirror from going blank after several hours. When the mirror goes blank i am able to move the mouse around and see the cursor. Only way to fix it is to quit the program and restart it. Has anybody had this issue or know a work around to stop it going blank on me?

@tbs86 ia this on a pi?
I had to do this

to stop my frequent black screens.
then I added this module to record more info

@sdetweil did what you said pie ran over night. Went to work and it was blank again. I think it’s something do to with one of my modules Google maps. I saw the command prompt and saw a error I believe.
-
@tbs86 ok, one step in the right direction
-
@sdetweil anyway to confirm its the module?
-
@tbs86 are you using pm2?
if so, look in the ~/.pm2/logs folder MagicMirror.error.log
also the heavy way.
edit the config and add
disabled: true,to the module you think it is, and then restart
-
Sorry still new to this. Disable the module and see if this fixed the issue?
-
@tbs86 yes, that is another way…

Ok will try and report back
