so how do you get it back on and after how long? Mine is occasionally dark on startup but comes back if I restart the car or press home button.

Hold the home button down for approx 30 seconds to reboot system

Just a reminder.

If you do this.....While driving the car and any of the automation features enabled, the car will completely FREAK out

Tried this with our previous ZS EV, because the satnav froze (Not the dead reckoning error) so decided that i would just reboot the infotainment.

I think....More or less every single error message the car can display was on the "behind the steering wheel" screen.

Car worked fine, but all of the automations, like cruise control, lane assist, Automatic emergency braking and whatnot had errors popping up.

The messages all went away, when the infotainment had rebooted, and the satnav started working, but be aware, that doing it while driving will make the car panic pretty bad (All the error codes and lots of extra bong sounds)

So, you can be driving along, the screen goes black, and then after 30 seconds comes back, but during that time you cannot change radio station or change the volume. Never had a car with so many issues

This happens how often? every day you drive it or once a week? Take it back to the garage, could be something as simple as a lose wire somewhere ... but start with "my screen is not working, can you please replace it"

well have taken it to main dealers, and they have downloaded an update, but still happens, the only issue is our main dealer has a 6 week wait before getting it booked in
