TNT 180S instrument panel backlight issue repairable?

[RideNelliRide]

My TNT 180S's instrument panel functions properly, but the backlight isn't turning on. Has anyone previously encountered this? Can the backlight be fixed or replaced alone, or does the entire panel need to be swapped out

I would appreciate any advice

Hey, I've seen this before, usually the backlight can be fixed or replaced separately without swapping the whole panel

I'm pretty sure the backlight is fixable. Maybe it's just burnt out already? The panel doesn't need to be swapped out but double check if other parts might need a little more tinkering or something. It might be worth swapping the whole thing if you're gonna do it later on.

It's almost always a bulb related issue, so it's an easy fix if you're handy with some basic tools. On the off chance that it's not, then it could be a wiring problem, which you'll need some knowhow to find. Or you can take it to an electrician

Instrument cluster backlights failing is actually a common issue on bikes as they age, even on newer ones sometimes.
For many clusters, it's often a burnt out LED or a cold/broken solder joint on the circuit board rather than the entire panel being shot.
If you're comfortable with a bit of delicate disassembly and possibly some basic soldering, it can often be fixed without replacing the whole panel. There are a surprising number of YouTube videos for various bike clusters doing LED swaps or resoldering
