Mini Message Display Help

I have a 06, F150 and the Mini Mesage Display that shows the mileage, trip odometer, low fuel, etc. stoped working the other day and remains blank.
Has anyone experienced this and/or knows what could be the problem?
Thank you for your response.

Make sure you check all the fuses.

I checked out the fuses and discussed the problem with a dealer and an independent mechanic. They seem to be in agreement that it is probably a computer issue with the instrument panel itself. Will know alot more by Monday. Thank you for your reply.

What I've found out is, apparently the instrument cluster has one of several computers that are on the truck and it is faulty. That is why the Mini Display Panel is out. The instrument cluster has to be sent in so the information from the old one can be burned in to the new one, info like current mileage.
The truck can't be used at all untill it is replaced.
