Sat Nav Screen Burning and Smoking!

Sat Nav Screen Burning and Smoking!

I got into my car yesterday morning and the display on my Sat Nav went from bright to dim and remained that way.

It then started to smell strange, like a burning smell. I called the dealer to book it in to be checked.

Today it started actually emitting white smoke from the screen! I called Mini Emergency Services and they sent someone out to confirm what I already told them and I'm now awaiting a pickup and the delivery of a replacement car.

Crazy!!!Has anyone else heard of this - bearing in mind it just happened all of a sudden!

Just another problem to add to the list...

Mini Emergency Services have been and gone, taking the inferno with them and left me a brand new Cooper. Looks like driving will be different over Easter!

Anyone else heard of this or what the problem might be?
