Good luck. I was never able to get mine repaired (had a similar issue - just backlight on the screen but otherwise didn't power up at all). Local shop wanted more in diagnostic fees than I saw working ones selling for on eBay.
I bought a Janome to replace it and sold the Bernina (with full disclosure that it didn't work) on Craigslist for the parts/accessories.
