Chances are your circuit board has resistor failure. The display's power resistors have too much current running through them, so they tend to overheat and the solder pads crack and break over time. This is a known design flaw, and exists in other makes / models of vehicles with this type of display.

See this guide link below (under 'Sources and Related Links') for a correct do-it-yourself repair, or use a search engine to find a service to professionally repair your display. Repairs and sometimes replacement modules can be found on large auction sites (note that replacement displays will sometimes have the same issue) If your vehicle is under warranty, take it to a dealership and don't attempt any repairs yourself.
