Dealer wants it for a day to do a "Reboot" to the system. The tech is thinking this may be enough to bring it back to life. If it needs replaced I'm guessing its a bit pricey?
Tanin Auto...what would be your thought/suggestion?

Is your vehicle able to start? is the center screen only black or the entire cluster? Do the gauges work or nothing works? What does work, and what doesn't work?

Yes, it starts and runs and all else works as it normally would.
Everything works except the center (2'x4"ish) digital panel.
For a week or two this area went off and on then it then it went blank full time.
Yes, the top digital panel is still working.
I do get a loud beep ~30-40 seconds after starting and then moving the car.

VCDS is diagnostic software for Volkswagen Auto Group cars. It's usually step 1 in diagnosing problems. I'm sure your dealer used the factory scan tool but i'd be curious to know what fault codes you have.
