      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?

        and reboot

        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 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?
