G'day to all of you!
I have a problem and it just drives me mad... I have one i30 2009 (just over 71000 on the clock), no any big issues until yesterday... I parked the car in an open parking for 4 hours in a pretty hot day and the LCD screen is blank now... If I want to read the screen, I have to turn on the blue backlight by pressing the  "DARK " button. Everything else works well : radio, CD player,  Aux connected to my ipod, clock, temp,...  but no any information on the screen with the blue backlight off. I had left the car to "cool down" overnight and I still have the problem and it's useless to activate the backlight during daytime... I wish I had some sun shades.... but never thought about that before. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you very much for your time ! Have a great weekend!
Yannis

Hi, Yannis, yes, the LCD is crap when it gets hot. I remember asking the same questions when I got the car. I was told it would return to normal when cool. It did. Never had it fail completely. Maybe you should join those of us looking into replacent options in this forum.

On my FD, the "dark" button turned the backlight off. Does everything happen upside down where you lot live?

Yep, it's a bugger when you go to the toilet
