Tips For Fixing R36s Black Screen With White Lines

If you’ve recently purchased an R36S and the console shuts down automatically or the screen appears black with white lines, don’t panic. Here’s a set of easy fixes, plus some key maintenance points to help you prevent similar problems in the future.

R36S shuts down automatically with a black screen and white lines

After using the R36S for a while, it may suddenly shut down without warning, or the startup screen may appear abnormal with white lines. This is most likely due to the serious lack of battery power.

Solution: Charging Action

The R36S comes with a screen-saver mode that plays game videos when the device is idle for long periods, a setting that is likely to drain the battery faster than you expect. So, before trying other troubleshooting methods, follow these steps below:

1. Thoroughly charge: connect the R36S to a charger and charge it for a couple of hours. If the battery is low, the device should turn on normally after charging.
2. Shut down the device at the end of use: to avoid constant power drain while the device is on standby, always shut down the device completely when not in use, rather than leaving it in screen saver mode.

Standardize the steps to turn off the R36S

To ensure stable operation of the device and prevent damage to the SD card, the following steps should be followed to properly shut down the device:

1. Press the Start button to enter the main menu.
2. Scroll down and select the “Quit” option and press the A button.
3. In the next level of the menu, slide to “Shutdown System” and press the A button again.
4. When the confirmation window pops up, press the A button again and the device will be safely shut down.

Note: Do not use the power button on the side of the device to turn off the R36S, as this may cause damage to the SD card, which may lead to further malfunctions of the device.

Bonus Tip: Lower the Volume to Save Battery

When you’re not playing games, lowering the volume is a simple and effective way to save battery power. Lowering the volume reduces the power consumption, which allows you to use your device for a longer period.
