You get into your Hyundai i20 and start the engine. You hear the radio start up, maybe even your favourite station is playing, but the screen stays completely black. You try touching the display, press the “MAP” and “NAV” buttons. You can hear that the unit is responding, switching functions “blind”, but the picture does not appear. Does that sound familiar?
In an instant you lose access to navigation, vehicle settings and, often most importantly, the reversing camera. Every parking manoeuvre in reverse becomes unnecessarily stressful. You start looking for solutions. A brand-new unit from an authorised dealer? The cost runs into thousands of złoty. A used navigation unit from an auction site? That’s a risky gamble — you have no certainty how long it will work, or whether the same fate will befall it in a few months.
This fault can be repaired in 99% of cases. We specialise in refurbishing factory audio electronics fitted in Hyundai / KIA. At OEMatic we will restore full functionality to your radio-navigation LAN520EHGB. The repair cost is 1476 zł incl. VAT, turnaround is 1-3 working days, and you receive a written 24-month warranty for the entire service.
How to identify the LAN5202EHGB navigation unit?
The unit in question is the factory navigation unit fitted in the second-generation Hyundai i20 (2014-2020). The same model (with the same hardware design) can also be found in some KIA vehicles from that period.
The most reliable way to identify it is to check the label on the top of the metal casing.
Key identification details:
- Model: LAN5202EHGB
- Part No: 96560-C8701RDR
- Brand: Hyundai / KIA
If the numbers on your unit match those above, this description applies to your fault.
Typical symptoms of the “black screen” fault
A fault in the main board electronics in this model produces a very specific and misleading set of symptoms. Drivers most often report:
1. Completely black screen
This is the key symptom. When the vehicle is started, the screen stays black – no start-up logo, no menu, and no reversing camera image are shown. This is not a backlight issue; the display is simply "dead".
2. Sound and radio work
Although there is no picture, the rest of the unit works properly in the background. You can hear audio from the radio or other media. The volume can be adjusted without any problem.
In many earlier models, a lack of sound was caused by the amplifier, but that is not the case here.
3. Response to buttons "blind"
When you press the buttons on the panel (e.g. "RADIO", "MEDIA"), you can clearly hear the unit switching functions, even though nothing is visible on the display.
Sometimes there is a case of a non-working touch panel – even though it is not at fault. See how we repair LAN6200 for this fault.
4. Incorrect diagnosis: faulty LCD
Many customers and workshops wrongly assume that the problem lies with the LCD display itself or its ribbon cable. Unfortunately, replacing the front panel or the screen itself does not solve the problem – the screen remains black because the cause lies deeper.
Cause of the fault – main board electronics
Why does the screen go out even though the rest of the unit appears to work?
Damage to components on the main board
The problem is not in the LCD display or its connecting ribbons. Even replacing the entire front panel does not bring any result.
The source of the fault is damage to the electronic components located on the unit's main board. They are directly responsible for generating and transmitting the video signal to the display. Our repair involves diagnosing and replacing these specific parts, restoring the unit to factory condition.
