Black Screen randomly displays

Good afternoon. I have seen this issue posted before from others, though I didn’t see a solution.
When playing my Playlist, every fifth or so image is a black screen with a small great area in the upper left hand corner. I have checked the Playlist in the app on my phone and don’t see any images blacked out. Can anyone please advise how I can correct this? Thank you

Re: Black Screen randomly displays
I have tried powering off the Meural, but unfortunately it didn’t fix it. By “RMA” are you saying returning the unit? It’s been about 4 years so I assume I’m out of warranty. I could ask what the company would charge for a repair.
Thanks again,
Rich

Re: Black Screen randomly displays
Just adding one last comment here, in case anyone else has the same issue.
When I reached out to Netgear support, they suggested the following. It is not ideal (as the image orientation is now ignored), but it does work as the black screen images have stopped appearing so we are using this approach:
"Would request you to launch the Meural app, click on the Canvas option (bottom right), click on the settings icon (top right), click on Canvas Settings, scroll down and look for "orientation match". It should be turned off, for all the images (either vertical/horizontal) to get displayed on the Meural screen. If it is set to horizontal/vertical and based on how the Canvas is mounted on the wall, you will be able to see those images matching the Canvas' orientation and the rest of the images as a black screen."
