Re: XXX Sat Nav Screen lines going through it XXX
Probably not usefull but your description of lines going through the screen would suggest that one or more connections are not connected correctly, bit like when a scart lead on a TV partly comes out and you end up with a picture but no sound. Have you tried twisting the connectors to see if the lines go away, if they do you would know that it was a bad connection? Have you cleaned all the contacts and connections? I am probably saying what you have already tried.
The modules you took out, did they not work at all?

There's a ribbon cable in the unit that may need the pins cleaning. Get the unit to slide downwards and then look underneath - you'll see it.
Means taking the unit out, taking the top off and unclipping the cable, wipe, reverse...

i took the radio cleaned the ribbon cables but still the same when i pluged it back in i put the blue plug in first and the screen lit up a dark colour with no lines then i plugged in the white plug and the lines were running through it again it like looking through a camera at a television.
