Monsoon Question For sometime now I have had the display on my HU not light up.
I just looked at it with some reflective light and noticed that it is still functional, counting down tunes and showing the time.
It just isn't lighting up.
Is it possible that it has a backlight problem?
Maybe I don't need to replace the display itself..

Basically it could be 2 issues: a) the bulb blew or b) the solder on the screen's contacts needs to be re-flowed because it has cracked.
Since the display appears to work but just isn't lit, its probably a blown bulb.
If it was a solder problem, the display would appear garbled.
