3 flights ago partner said 440 went blank for about 3 minutes after about 1 hr of flight. It then rebooted with the normal start sequence. 30min later it was time for an ILS approach. VLOC was showing green and the frequency and ID were correct, but the GS flag stayed in view and the glide slope indicator never came down from the top. The tower said GS was showing green and the the number 2 radio's ILS worked perfectly. Today attempted an ILS and the 440 had the same problem Attempted a second one and the ILS on the 440 worked perfectly. Then tried to do an LPV to a different runway with no ILS, and even though the FMS flt plan showed that the GPS approach was loaded with all the way points, the approach indicator on the top right continued to show VLOC in green and there was no LPV guidance. Has anyone ever seen any of these anomalies on a 440 or 540?

Fixed problem by pulling unit out and re-seating.
