svshow (Customer) asked a question.
EA9 "Blink property" stop working after 3-4 weeks.
I saw similar thread in old forum but seems like issue was not fixed.
So, If I set blink property on the element, lets say "Indicator light" after uploading project it is blinking, but in 3-4 weeks just stop blinking, and the only thing helps - reload project again.
I found two threads in a short search

Do all internal blinks fail to blink, or just one, two...?
Which HMI model and SW/FW you are using?
Yeah 2 threads - and no answer.
Yes - all blinks fail to blink
C-More - 6.53
EA9-T15CL
I can find where we have had two customer call in with this issue. We were able to get one of the customers' projects and ran it for months trying to duplicate it and could not.
The best thing to do is contact Technical Support. Be prepared to send in both you C-more and PLC projects so it can be set it up and allowed to run.
Also, please provide them with as much information as possible that may help us duplicate the issue.
It's never a bad practice to backup your project, reload the firmware, reset factory defaults and reload the project.
What PLC and protocol are you using?
Power cycling does not correct the blink?
The panels stay powered up 24/7 during this 3-4 weeks?
Lets start from last questing:
The panels stay powered up 24/7 during this 3-4 weeks.
Power cycling panel or project reloading without power cycling corrects the blink.
PLC - PAC3000 more than 1000 active tags.
And I believe its not about the project (I'm doing what C-more allows me to do, nothing more).
Seems like Screen OS has sort of counter overflow.
Just refill the blinker fluid tank in the Cmore super secret hidden compartment. Sorry I know thats an old teenage autoparts store prank but sometimes you just have a take a step back during these crazy times and have a good chuckle.

I think that is the blinker fluid tank plugs into the expansion port on the back.
I thought about it and connected mercury antenna to the expansion port on the back - it helped.
Now mercury absorbs all bugs and I see pure blinks.
too funny
try to mark bott blinkers text and background
I will.
Let you know in a month or so ;) Hope I don't have to refill blinker fluid to often...
