Yahoo! Groups TM-V7 covers this issue repeatedly. Kenwood has been replacing the display for free, and the turnaround time is fairly fast. You only need to send in the display and a note with the radio serial number and return address. Suggest you join that group and ask the question again. I had mine replaced two years ago and have forgotten the details, but I am sure that someone will have the info readily available.

Thanks folks. kc9ikx James Yahoo! Groups Links
