Chances are that it's the backlighting bulbs that have burned out, rather than the display going on the fritz. Find a flashlight and shine it right at the EDU to see whether it's working. While I've seen cases on this board where the light sensor (on the clock/EDU button panel) has failed, bulbs are more likely the cause on an early 9000, at least in the case of all three early 9ks I've owned over the years.
I have purchased replacement bulbs at an auto parts store (O'Reilly's in case you're wondering) for far less than OE bulbs at the dealer. Unfortunately I forgot the manufacturer/part number for them.
Getting at them's a pain. You'll have to remove the dash top and the instrument panel to get at the bulbs.
