If the bike still assists with a dead display, you can often keep riding short-term. Unplug the display connector (usually behind the headlight or at the stem), check for green corrosion or bent pins, and reseat it. A film of moisture inside the screen after rain often clears in a warm dry room. Persistent glitches mean the unit is failing; replacements are brand-specific.
