Very common problem.
Most likely case is bad cold solder joints...
If you are comfortable cold soldering a circuit board you can do it your self... follow the links in the post above.
IF not, a CF member Mangitial.... David Ruberg will fix for you for about $50 including the shipping back to you and a 5 year guarantee.

If it's the display that's out, it's most likely the solder connections. If it's the backlighting for the buttons and red/blue displays then most likely the bulbs are burnt out, which you can fix by following the link I posted above. The problem is that GM used tiny 12V incandescent bulbs, rather then LEDs to do all the backlighting, so they will go bad eventually. The status lights on the buttons are LEDs, however, so they shouldn't be an issue.
