"operations screen" goes off and on..............

My 'operations screen' goes off and on - more off these days than on.....it is the one with the radio/air control/etc. in the center of the dash. Fortunately - I can still operate the main buttons on the screen even when dark - they all still work but not lighted - screen stays dark most of the time.....any advice other than a new component that costs $500.00????? Thanks....

If you look in the back postings you will find many reponses to the same question.<P>Buick issued a TSB on the CRTs but basically some have bad wiring. A few people have successfully disassembeled & resoldered the units.<P>Think the $500 is way high - more like $150 exchange for a repaired unit. Several posts have listed where to get it done.

Thanks you guys.....I have read back and found some good advice on taking out and re-connecting after cleaning the connection wires, etc....this may work - it acts like it has a short in it.....appreciate the advice.....
