It's most likely not blank. The dimmer is most likely set to its lowest setting. Look at it while it's dark outside, all the lights off in the boat and hopefully you'll be able to see the screen so you can adjust the backlight to brighter.
 
I will try that out
Thank you

Alternatively... if it's light out and you want to give this a shot.. I wrote this down for another boater last year who ran into the same problem.

1 Turn on the autopilot.
2 Click the center button
3 Click the right button 4 times
4 Click the center button
5 Click the right button 3 times
6 Click the center button
7 Click the right button 2 times
8 Click the center button
9 Click the left button up until you can see the screen.

Hopefully this fixes it for you.
 
I will try that Thursday and get back
Thanks
Jim
