Default Lights Out On Trip Computer?

Turned on the AR this am and the display for the trip computer was blank. (i.e. I don't see outside temp or fuel consumption display.)
Very confused?

I know that the "led" lights work because the auto check system uses the same display and it is working.

I get no response when I press the "reset" button or the computer function control switches on the windshield wiper lever.

Please help.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

What sort of diagnostic should I run?

What could it be, just a busted computer or somethng?

Default how about the hidden button on the bottom of the wiper stalk?

it toggles those on and off.
