No, at least not that I know of. I'd be pretty sure it's related to your mod.
In addition to fuse #7 check any an all fuses relating to OBC, audio, cd changer, telephone (anything that interfaces with the MID) including fuses in the trunk compartment (72-75).


It maybe just that power has been lost to the MID backlights. The MID might be working otherwise but you just can't see anything because there is no backlight through the LCD.
There are about a dozen lights behind the LCD display and I suspect you managed to kill the power to these. Or maybe the ground connection to the MID is the problem. You will find some dissasembled shots of the MID here.
There is a downloadable scheme of the MID here (it's a pdf file within a rar archive - use 7zip to extract it). Maybe you can troubleshoot the problem with this.

Hope this helps.
