PBP Went Blank After Login - iscmob - 12-06-2020

Hi,
I really really enjoy PBP Manjaro for many months.
Until recently, after I keyed my login password, the login screen continued as usual for a few seconds and then the screen gone blank. I noticed the green LED and noted the laptop is still running, but with a blank screen.
I’m no Linux expert. Please advise what shall I do.
Thanks.

 I'm facing a similar issue with Fedora 33 on kernel 5.7 by armdevelopers.

However, my install switches back to the login screen after about 2 minutes, after which login works fine without crashing a second time.

What happens, when you try to switch TTY?
Is there any output on your screen when pressing the arrow keys?

Thx.

I don’t know what’s TTY.
After I keyed in my password to login, the Manjaro logo came on with a progressing bar and day/time. This screen would stay for 30sec before it went blank. Sometimes it went blank with the green power LED ON and sometimes the green LED went OFF too. You can see my attached picture.
