Problem with display screen being black

Hello,

After 2 days of having Prius I have encountered a problem with display.

This is how it happened:

I tried to test the EV mode. I drove Prius with EV mode on for about 50 meters. The switched power off and and I tried to turn it back on the display is not showing anything at all. After leaving the car for some time on, the display came on for about 2 minutes and then went black again. I drove the car for about 10 kms and it was ok. But the screen never came on. The car has only 150 km on and I wonder if that has to do with the auxiliary battery.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I drove a little more and the display keeps coming on and off all the time. There must be some connector problem but I don't know where to look for it. Maybe I will take it to the dealer. Apart from that the car goes with no problems.

Well, I drove about two hours in total again. The display didn't turn off at all but that happens if you travel not too far. At an one-hour trip the display went off in half an hour. But from then after I powered off and switched back on a few minutes later the display went on and remained on all the time. It's very strange.

What I was thinking is that the auxiliary battery might be very low at the time I bought the car and still not fully charged. The only case I found in the manual is the auxiliary battery. The fuses are ok because the clock and other stuff wouldn't work.
