Help! On-board computer info screen blank

[tewebb]

My 07 CS has only 129 miles on it and the on-board computer display has gone blank on me. Started it up a few days ago and everything was ok. Got in yesterday and noticed the center computer display was blank. You can see red/white vertical lines coming on and off of the display screen but that is it. Any help out there? The only thing I have done is change out wheel/tires with TPM's. I have my oem wheels/tires stacked in the corner of my garage. I have pulled my CS outside away from the other wheels thinking it might be the computer is picking up the oem TPM's. Still a blank screen. Called my dealer and of course they want to see the car. Has anyone had this problem with there on-board computer information screen that could give me some help?

It sounds like you have a warranty issue...

I hate that, but I am thinking the same thing. 129 miles
I was praying it might be something simple. I hate for the dealers to get a hold of my car. I know how they can/do abuse the service car's they work on.

Thank you for your reply/input.

I'd take it for a drive to let the new TPMS relearn (your new wheels have the TPMS sensors?) or just to see if it heals itself. Low probablity but can't hurt.

	TPMS TPMS - The Tire Pressure Monitoring System provides early warning of any drop in pressure by continuously monitoring the pressure in each tire and alerting you in the onboard computer display in the event of a pressure deficiency. It communicates the exact pressure of each tire and/or their deviation from ideal pressure. This does away with the need for regular air pressure checks at the service station, which often prove highly inconvenient. See the TPMS FAQ for more info.

I had it out for a few miles the other day. The new TPMS seemed to relearn w/o a problem. Will try it again. Don't have a dealer appointment until next tuesday. Thank you for your input.

Tom - Do you have actual experience that this dealer will abuse your car while it's in their possession? I've had my new Porsches since 1998 serviced by several dealers during that time, and have never had the cars abused.

Also, please don't post the same topic to multiple threads in two different forums. If you're unfamiliar with the posting rules, please take a read through them, they appear as an announcement at the top of every forum. I've deleted the duplicate in "Cayman Chat."

Thanks,
