aussie Piazza needs help

[botcolon]

I have just inherited a 86 Isuzu Piazza Turbo (australian edition), and whilst doing preliminary checks over the car before starting work, the dash went on the blink.

For about a week since receiving the car, the digital dash would come on as expected. Then on the seventh day, when the ignition key was turned, the dash came on flickered on-off-on a few times, then 'kaput'. Nothing has worked since then.

I have ordered a manual as its hard to work with electronics when you don't know the circuits, but I thought while I am waiting for my isuzu impulse book arrive from the states, why not ask those boys what might have bitten the dust.

So which best option best fits as a solution:

• The dash as a whole needs to be replaced.
• A module which runs the dash needs replacing.
• A module which runs the dash needs repairing and can be repaired.
• Some other solution.

I am looking forward to your help.

I have been looking into it and I believe that the PCB has lost power. So I am currently investigating why the board has lost power. All is not lost. I will definitely get it going.
