Default 2014 touch screen replacement

I just got my radio display replaced due to it went black. I picked it up and the first thing I noticed was that the corvette flags did not come up on the radio display when the door was opened and the main dash display did not do the flashy corvette startup. Any thoughts??? The corvette specialist at the dealership said that he never saw what I was describing. I am at a loss.

The quick answer would be disconnect the battery for a few minutes. That seems to help with some of the electrical gremlins....

If disconnecting the battery for a short period does not clear up the situation, take it back to the dealership and ask that they talk with a tech expert up the line from the dealership to see if a solution can be found.

Its called a flash screen and It is a software upload. If the dealer, and the tech didn't know what you are talking about I would find another dealer.

Is there a reference using the term flash screen? I have googled it and can not find it. I want to be armed with all possible information when I get back with the dealership.

do they not have any other corvettes there at the dealership. I bet someone at the dealership knows how to fix it.
