varies
if the whole screen has stopped working, i'd suggest checking the screen connector first?
guessing it's not under warranty...?

Perfect time to upgrade to the much better looking binnacle gauges. :)

Hey man, you know how it says 1 - 3 - 5 ... Mine usually sits around 3 and I was told this is normal... I havent heard from anyone else though...

Sorry Woodys - Haven't seen that problem before, all the best though

Ive had that problem with the screen going blank.

The solution ? I did nothing. It just came back on when it felt like it, and hasnt had a problem since. The only hint I could give would be to stop the car, turn it off, take your keys out, get out of the car and lock the door. Then get back in after a minute and see if that helps. My guess is that the computer on it had a bad day, and following those (somewhat tedious) steps helped the computer catch it's breath/calibrate etc.

Thanks for all the replies guys, to answer the question asked, mine (when it was working) would sit at around 3 when cruising but drop to around 1 or 2 when at idle....goes up a bit when you put the foot down.

RayLamp, i too thought this would be the case because the audio screen would flicker occasionally and around the same time the gauges went blank the audio screen went a funny yellow colour but corrected itself over the duration of the 3 hour drive i was on.

Its still under an AHG platinum warranty or something like that so il get them to have a look at it next time its serviced and should be covered

I'd call it a feature really. Wish there was a switch to turn the stupid things off!
