Possible it could be the connectors.  Maybe try switching the cables, and/ or clean the ports with contact cleaner.  Also check in the ports that all the little springy pin things ( that's official terminology). are all up at the same angle.  I've seen those get bent sometimes.

My learned fellow Sparkies,

I have at home off-grid Radian with Mate 3 monitor. Periodically & randomly my Mate 3 blanks out and requires a reboot (un-plug / re-plug). While this is not such a big deal to address, the total loss of ALL the performance & usage data is really concerning in the event that I need the data for a T/S.

I have not called OB as there is no cell service at or near the system and to do so is a huge time killer back & forth & waiting to check again. I am convinced the brain trust here is the answer.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Any remedial action to correct this issue?

Let me know & thanks.
