Radio display not displaying

rmg1

Hi all

I've got a Y-reg Renault Megane Scenic and I'm having problems with the radio.
According to the manual, there should be a display on the dashboard next to the clock showing various bits and pieces for the radio (station, etc).

The clock itself and the temperature bit on the right hand half are working, but the radio display bit is blank.

Anyone any ideas given the distinctly vague description?

Feel free to ask any more questions as necessary.

Is it the standard radio that is fitted? Fitting non-standard units can cause the display be be blank.

The car started life with a radio\cassette that's packed in.
I've got a second-hand radio\cd from the same make/model (not sure about the year though) and I've been assured it works (and it lights up when switched on and the car lights are on.
