Default Screen turned black — radio still works

I have a 2011 Sonata Limited. Yesterday while I was driving the display just shorted out and turned black and hasn’t come on since. My radio still works and I can use all the buttons on my radio, but Bluetooth won’t connect and the review camera won’t come on. I haven’t damaged it/spilled anything on it. I tried pressing the reset button and pulling out the fuse and plugging it back in, but both options have done nothing. I’m really trying to avoid the high dealer costs, so I’m hoping someone has had experience with this in the past and can lead me to a solution I can do myself. Thanks!

Something you might try,

You might lose any programmed features like power seat, mirrors, radio stations etc.
If you or have someone remove the battery negative cable from the battery and then remove the positive cable from the battery and hold the two cable ends together contacting each other for a few minutes then reconnect the positive cable end back to the battery positive post , then reconnect the negative cable end back on to the negative cable post. . Turn on the ignition and see if the screen comes back on If it takes care of the problem, fine. When you start the vehicle allow the vehicle computer to reset the idle speed by not touching the accelerator pedal for a few minutes.Let us know if this took care of the problem.

Jessica, did you ever figure out how to fix your Sonata? I have a 2011 Sonata with the exact same issue.
