[RPi5] Deep Sleep Black Screen, Sound but No Picture

    • New

    LE 12.0.1, Rpi5 4GB, Firmware (up to date: 2024-07-30)

    Screensaver is set to Dim after 5 minutes, which works. Sometimes after it sits idle for an extended period without the TV on, all I get is a black (dark gray) screen and audio. Nothing I've tried can get the picture back. The controls work and I can hear audio, but only a reboot brings the picture back.

    This is happening on multiple installs on multiple RPi 5 boards, so it's not a one-off fluke.

    I seem to remember that older versions on the RPi4 needed commands to keep it awake and stop it from going into deep sleep to save power. Is that still the case?

    Thanks.
