Narrative:
I lost the whole panel after touchdown. Turned off active as soon as possible. The taxiway that I took crossed the end of a crossing active runway. I visually checked it, crossed and taxied to the FBO. I called tower as soon as possible on the FBO phone. A handheld might have helped, but there was little time for that.
