At the moment my screen is blank; it has periodically come on and gone off over the last 4 or 5 months but now it does not come on at all.

I am not bothered about upgrades to the screen (perhaps at the moment), what would be the best first step to take to do any tests or a reboot (have seen this on the forum but not sure if you can only do this if you have sat nav which I do not have).

Any pointers please?

Best Regards

John

Is it just the screen not working? Does the radio still work ok?

radio and cd still work, all buttons work when pressed etc, screen has no picture

I have the same problem. The car was stood for two years and only started about four or five times in that period.

Does the screen 'dry out'?

I can also get the sound of radio/cd/tv etc but screen is black no computer etc & doesnt warm up to the touch.

not really helpful but i would use this as an excuse to upgrade to the widescreen version. there are plenty of videos on how to swap them on you tube.

good luck either way:thumbsup

May be (probably is) a stupid question but are the wide screen tv digital ready? As after posting this i was thinking i'm not going to be able to get a tv/teletext signal soon anyway?

probley not throught the standard tv tunner but if you have an av input you could put in one of these

you won't be able to control it through the head unit but it comes with a wireless remote.
