Never had any Xs. Both screens just froze. Keep in mind all the attitude and heading info continued to function normally so I did not have a flight safety issue. The GTN 650 did its work and had comm 1 available. I was not able to do anything with my transponder or comm two which are both remotely operated. The transponder continued to work, but if requested I was unable to change the squawk code. Just any touch commands went off line, Weird? I sent the logs to Garmin for their review. Note: this system has functioned flawlessly for 2.5 years. So not concerned unless I get a repeat. But this is the reason for a backup that does not run the same software. The G5 has its own and along with Garmin Pilot on my mini I pad It gives redundancy for situations like this, no matter how rare of an occurrence.
