Blank infotainment screen
Hi all. Apologies if this has been covered previously looking for a little pre purchase advice. Been to see a 54 plate disco 3 today cracking motor but the screen displaying the information above the radio is showing no info at all. It lights up and the radio works just no info on the screen. And idea what may be causing this more importantly any idea on price to put right. All and any advice will be greatly received.
Thanks in advance

It could be a faulty screen or part of the most/infared circuit which carries the info could be damaged if its at a garage get them to sort it or if you know someone with IID tool or similar get them to read the codes which should tell you what is wrong as that could be expensive or hard to find what is wrong Discovery 3 se gone

Don't think him getting it sorted would be an option. Best avoided or ask for a hefty discount?

it is the green screen that the stereo info is displayed on. It lights up but after that it is just a blank screen. There doesn't seem to be any damage to the screen is no leaked liquid or obvious cracks. That's quite some bill. Guess I'd better get used to them!?
