Title: Computer Screen Dead !!
Post by: crimsonfin on 31 July 2012, 19:42

evening folks

just driving home tonight and the multi function computer screen in the middle of the dash seems to have died.  Instead of showing time/mileage etc it was showing a single 1 pixel red horizontal line which after a few seconds got smaller and smaller (like a progress bar in reverse).  The screen is now totally blank.  Tried turning ignition on and off when i stopped at the lights but no joy.

any ideas ?
