One morning I got in my a8 and everything seemed normal. I drove downtown and bought some food. Once I got back in and turned on the car, the mmi display didn’t raise up like it usually does. When I pushed the button to raise the screen it was completely black. I can still hear the radio and control it with the steering wheel buttons, but the display will not work.Took it to dealerships and they said mmi and frame must be replaced and would cost $2000
Did anyone experienced same problem or have any cheaper solutions how to fix it.
Thank you,

 

What do the dealer mean? MMI screen is dead?
These are <$50 online

Thank you so much for responding and for advice but I already bought a used one of the eBay and I paid $500 for it.
I wish this message came in earlier
