Why's the electronic dash on my BMW fading?

I have a BMW N-reg and the mileage display partly works, by which I mean you get half the display. If you hit the dash it works for a while, but has been getting worse. It is an electronic display. Any ideas?

Common problem. They just fade out. Try posting in Technical Matters in the Backroom at hjuk. Maybe someone has an answer.
