Is it really? 

Pre mini-facelifts did suffer from "dead" pixels, not being able to display words correctly, however the whole unit remained fully operational, just would get worse and worse.

Post mini-facelift, so 1998.5ish, the displays are practically bullet proof. Hardly ever go wrong....

I'd take the instrument panel out as per the guide (dead easy) - Reseat the connector on the back of the MID 

Make sure you have some spare bulbs too, often disturbing the panel, a bulb will blow.

Very early ones were problematic, later ones seem to be a bit more reliable.

Cheers tunnie i think mine is a pre facelift is a 99 2.5v6 with the bose system radio CCR? BUT AS i said before i went out to take a pic and its fine now

could it be where the sun was on it??

[tunnie]

Ah if its Bose then its a GID, its a half height display? These tend to be even more reliable than standard MID's.

Looks roughly like this?

IIRC, Its only the ccrt700 that has the half display, the ccr800 has a full display

I stand corrected

This is my one the orange bit is a reflection on the clear plastic butit done it again when the display was left in sunlight so whats the solution (apart from close sunroof when i get out of car  )

The CCRT700 is the work of the devil.  *ANY* 'Infotainment' (as GM call it) problems on a CCRT700 equipped car, pull the HU out for an hour.
