After turning on and aligning HMD before a carrier launch, I blanked it out with the Recce button. But 15-20 min into the mission, I couldn't bring it back on by pressing Recce button again. I dunno if there is anything I could have messed up, if alignment and blanking with Recce was the last thing just before taxi?

Do you by chance have the SA page up on one of your DDI's and it's priority?  If so, you can't unblank the HMD because the RECCE button controls SA EXP mode when SA is priority.

This one caught me recently and I had similar symptoms -- worked fine on the ramp setting it up, then stopped working in the air (well randomly worked when I had SA off priority, but took me a while to figure that out).

Shieeeeet... OMG, I should have been born at least twice to figure this one out by myself.

Respect Bro, and thanks ! Is this function mentioned anywhere in any manual by the way?... Just trying to figure out, where I must have missed this info...

Can't remember where I found it originally, but I eventually rediscovered it in my checklist notes.  Easy one to overlook.  Drove me nuts for longer than I'd care to admit before I figured it out

Wags' videos on youtube are always first place to check these things. ED sucks in updating manuals and Wags presents newly implemented features and usually mentions most of the functionalities. But also take them carefully, because somtimes are out of date - like HMD aligment, because some buttons presses changed.
