2005 D3 Driver Information Screen Blank

[Nollywood]

Hi ladies and gents!

I've got a 2005 A8L 3.0. Oil pump failed due to poor maintenance, the oil was like wax. This caused the cams to seize, and snapped the timing belt. New engine has been fitted.

The problem is the centre LCD screen in the instrument cluster. It is blank. Not blank like it was disabled with the button on the stalk, more like a white screen on a cellphone. It just lights up when the ignition is turned on, or engine is running.

This is the way it was even before the engine change. I just wondered if anyone had come across this, or had any pointers?

Thanks all.
