My 15 will flicker and go black occasionally, I found that the connector to the HMI unit in the driver side kick panel gets loose, just reach in and reseat the connector and it is good for a few months, dealer replaced the screen once only to have it start flickering the next day, that's when I started to check the connectors and that seems to be the problem.

Found solution. You have to replace screen. Good part is that theirs a video online how to remove front dash and its the same steps for the screen. If anyone needs help replacing it near NYC let me know. Have done it 3 times already. It's about a hour to replace.

After replacing the screen they discovered the cord hooked to the screen was the problem. Dealer replaced cord and everything fine after 3 years now.i

There are two main failure modes resulting in flickering or black infotainment screen display. If you have a 2014 or possibly a 2015, it is likely that the screen needs to be replaced as they had a documented problem. If you have a more recent, it is most likely a loose video connector. Using the screen up/down might cause the video cable connection problem but that was not the cause of mine since mine went black within 24 hours of purchasing the car. Just a bad connection at the display from the factory. Easy fix.

Adrian thank you for your post. I have a 2014 LT1 10,700 miles with the same problem.
I need to replace the screen. Does the new screen start working when you install it
without any additional electrical work ?
Thanks,
Philip

Yes, don't matter which screen part number you get. Try to get it from a 2016+ vette on eBay. You don't need to do any programing. Its just the screen The computer that controls it is separate.
