Like I said ..mine did the same thig ...blank screen off and on and I had sound. Best way to repair and Item as screwed up in design as that is to throw money at it and buy an other one. Life is to short to deal with that problem. Got me a new one ....slammed it in and had the dealer program it to 2009 radio spec. Good to go.

Now I can listen To ...."Ravi Shankar" the Greatest SITAR player in the world all I want .......as I drive down the road of happy endings

With children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, etc, I've dealt with the china crap for many years. Too many non working devices show up on my work bench. I only need my beer, headlamp, magnifying eyeglasses, huge collection of precision screwdrivers, magnetic parts tray, and a can of CRC. I've found many display failures are caused by contact failure from the ribbon cable, pull/inspect/clean/reseat.

My Thing like yours is working on Vintage Audio gear like MARANTZ . Got one on the bench now from 1977 ..A Model 500.

Since I'm 9 miles from the ocean I will confirm that most of the failures in the pro stuff was silver flashed contacts and connectors on most of the gack I worked on.
Thank goodness for SALT air..L.O.L. It kept me in business' for years. The ribbon cables are the worst!!! Cudo's to you for working on those Radios. I'd need some Hemp to get me into one of those....LMAO.
