Hi there,
If the display shows drum error you can try cleaning it by following the steps below:
1. Open the front cover. 2. Pull the drum (black) and toner (gray) towards you, put a little force on it. 3. Remove the toner by holding down the tab on the side of the drum, then pull the toner out. 4. Use a dry lint-free cloth to clean the roller inside the drum unit. Make sure to remove any excess toner from it. 5. Put the toner back to the drum, make sure that it clicks, Reinstall the drum and toner back to the machine, 6. Close the cover.

If the display still shows drum error, go ahead and do the drum reset.

1. Open the front cover 2. Press the Options button on the control panel 3. The display should show "Replace Drum - 1. Yes 2. No 4. Press 1 to reset the drum count 5. Close front cover. The display should show the date & time
If still it shows drum error, The drum unit needs to be replace. After replacing the drum unit, do the drum reset again,

If you are talking about the vacuum display on the front of the receiver, it could be either blown and need replacement or simply dimmed. There is a dimmer button on the front of the unit that should allow you to select between three different brightness settings.

$38 part from Sears PartsDirect took about 30 mins to install.  Part # AH92-02673A Ay pcb-front.  There are actually 2 boards to this setup, I went ahead and replaced both but the power button side of the board has some wiring that requires you to remove the disc changer which is only 4 screws and 2 screws for the piece that holds the disc above the reader.
I couldn't find an easy way to get the knob off on the front it required me to force it, nothing borke but your replacing the board anyways..

Try to borrow a computer unit to detect if the fault is in the computer unit or the display unit

you can get the remote from nationalpartsupply.com the lowest price i could find anywhere online Rich
