Start with tablet off. Hold power and volume up. You should boot into safe/repair mode. Try some of the options in there to get your tablet going again.
When you say "screen goes black," does the computer power down, or is it still operating? Does the sleep light come on? Does it respond to the keyboard and mouse? (Example: press the power button momentarily, wait a few seconds for the "Do you really want to shut down" message to appear, even though you can't see it, then hit the return key to answer "OK," and see if it shuts down.) Does the screen go black or come out of black if you tap the computer?
While your computer is working, go to System Preferences / Desktop & Screen Saver, the Screen Saver tab, click Hot Corners, and set a corner of your screen to Put Display to Sleep. Then next time your screen goes black, mouse your way into that corner, pause a few seconds, then mouse back out and see if your screen returns.
When you say the screen goes black even after disconnecting the device from computer it could be an issue with the firmware. It might need to have updated firmware. To get the updated firmware please go www.sandisk.com.
Where you can get the latest firmware for your model. *** Make sure when you update the firmware keep the device in MSC mode.
Here is the link for updating the firmware:

Try going into safe mode upon startup by hitting the F8 button. If it does then hit safe mode to get into your computer. Go to start>accessories>system tools>system restore. Follow the wizard to restore your computer to a date earlier than when you started having problems. Let me know if you have any problems or questions.
noting to worry about untill you start seeing black lines all the time, then I would say you might have to replace the screen or the mainboard if your screen is fine.
