Our 07 Turbo has had a failure of the LED dash display. It started with a little yellow squiggle down at the bottom of the central display, but it grew to the point of obscuring things. Interestingly, the factory manual shows this squiggle, but just says something like failure of display.

The local dealer knew about this (though not what caused it), removed the instrument unit, took it to a local non-Porsche place, and within hours called and said it was repaired and heading back to the shop.

Why should a solid state device like this have a progressive failure of this sort? Are individual led's in whatever matrix they are embedded in failing? It appears this is even more common on Audis, per the dealer.

Anyone had this happen? Know why?
