Start by turning the ignition on when it's dark at night and looking down into the unit through the windshield. If you can see the blue-green glow, then the support pin/bushing has likely failed. Cheap fix if so, but you have to pull the dash out to do it.

It's a common issue. I had it happen to mine. The repair has held up for years now.

Plenty of guides out there and after watching you'll see its a real pain to get to in order to fix it.
However, I purchased mine with the HUD broken too. Now that I went in and fixed it I really wish I would've done it sooner its awesome. Definitely worth the hassle.

That's what's wrong with mine. It gets done on Monday. I was quoted 4 hours for the repair by a buddy that repairs Corvettes. He's also fixing my dim HVAC and some burned out bulbs in it.

$400 later, I have my HUD back and my HVAC brightness restored. It took less than a day for the repair.

The whole car. 
The gentleman is local to me.
I dropped it off, he took the dash out , put new pins in the HUD and re-aligned it. then put everything back together.
He also took apart my HVAC display and re-soldered the chips.
I went back the next day and picked the car up. All nice and neat.
