Zafira screen not working properly

CupofTea

Recently the screen on my zafira has stopped working properly.
The time/date now shows but I can't see any other screen eg FM, what's on the cd etc.
The radio works and the cd plays but I can't see so I can't choose the station or connect my Bluetooth device.
Could I try fix this or do I need to replace it?

Do you have a manual that covers the screen?
There may well be some bulbs used for backlighting the display and if 1 of these has blown or has a dodgy connection then this could explain why part of it is not showing anything.


If you can't find anything then treating like a computer that's playing up might help.
Disconnect the vehicle battery and leave it disconnected for a few minutes then connect it up again and see if the display has reset.
Before doing this, make sure that you have any security codes that may be needed.

And if his screen isn’t working how will he know the car is asking for a security code?

The screen isn't displaying anything now (apart from the time) and they can't change the radio station or connect up on Bluetooth, so what's wrong with trying what I suggested?
It will either work in which case they can then enter a security code (if needed) or it won't work and they will need to investigate further.
