Random i2c outages / timeouts

[m4110c]

Hi there,

 

I have a little problem with my i2c-screen on the Helios4.

 

It was setup according to the Kobol-Wiki and was working right from the start. However after running for some time (in this example it took around 6 hours) the screen is black and empty.

 

Once I SSH back into the helios and restart the systemd sys-oled.service, it works again for some time...

 

"journalctl -u sys-oled.service" gives the following:

Any hint / idea is highly appreciated.
