Greetings, everyone.

On the day of Sunday, there was an abrupt occurrence when the display underwent a reboot process, resulting in a seemingly persistent loop where lines form at the conclusion of each cycle.

After doing a comprehensive scan, the obtained code B227D00 indicates that the watchdog function has identified an internal software issue.

Has anybody else had this issue and can provide a solution? The vehicle in question is a 2014 model and is not currently covered by any warranty.

I express my gratitude in advance.

It is possible that temporarily disconnecting the battery and afterwards reconnecting it may not provide a beneficial outcome. However, it may be worth considering this course of action. There have been claims that establishing contact between the positive and negative terminals of a battery may induce a system-wide reboot.

Several months ago, when my screen exhibited visual artifacts like lines, I applied a ten-second press to the power button located on the center console, which successfully initiated the system startup process without any issues. Moreover, it should be noted that the eject button on the CD performs a similar function.

I shall make an attempt to engage in this endeavor. I will do the task concurrently with the arrival of the new battery.

This issue is often encountered, and we possess the ability to resolve it in many cases, even when Mercedes dealerships are unable to do so. However, the longer the problem persists without intervention, the lower the probability of successful resolution.

Please contact the command center online with the following telephone number: 01276 474900.

It is important to note that while replacing a battery in the W205 model, it is necessary to use Xentry software in order to reset the battery charge rate inside the front SAM.

Is it feasible to do this task using remote means given the geographical distance of 150 miles between us? An attempt was made to contact the specified telephone number, but, the call was sent to the voicemail system.

Thank you very much.

An attempt was made to establish a phone call, however it was unsuccessful in connecting. Is it possible to do this task remotely, considering that I am located in the Midlands region?

I would want to provide an update.

This morning, a software update was implemented, thereby resolving the problem.
