I love this forum - you guys are the best!  Thanks for all your replies.

Thanks doylebros for the links - I was quite daunted initially when I saw the pics in the first link but I presume I only have to do up to the bit where the screen gets taken off?!  I got lost a bit in the jargon in the second link...

Re. a firmware upgrade, how do I find out what firmware I've got?  And how do I get the upgrade?  This sounds promising although I've also heard about firmware upgrades "frying" the unit ...

Sounds like I could try a firmware upgrade first then, if that doesn't work, try a new screen ... ?

For my money it's your screen, as the other people's problems only started after they upgraded their firmware!

You should be able to reach firmware/hardware info through Vag Com. There's always the possibility of bricking the unit during an update. Here's a link to a recovery CD that might help in that case. Good luck!
