If I cycle the power I can see the very very faint VP-200 startup logo and the startup systems check annunciations (they are so faint as to be illegible but I know what they are) but then a blank screen with the Soft Key label boxes barely visible but the labels themselves are illegible. The DU seems to still be controlling power pins and the control unit and the switch panel all seem to be functioning fine although it's impossible know 100% for sure without a full-up display. Does anyone have a Display unit I could borrow/rent/buy, at least to get me home? I'll be here at Pompano Beach until July 1st and across the state over in Fort Myers until July 9th (so I'd like to get it fixed by then) I'll pay for overnight shipping.

I'll be home on the 28th or so. I have a bunch of tools, if you need anything let me know. Sounds like the backlight in your screen is out. If you can source the lcd screen or even just the backlight I can repair it for you.

Try to get the part number from the LCD then you can see the size of the backlight, and order an aftermarket replacement. There's a remote possibility of the inverter being bad, which is the driver of the backlight. Usually the backlight burns out though.
