Can you post a picture of the tester mode colour bar things? or anywhere you think it's wrong?
Lee has made a video here on how he fixed his, which may help? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbeHoqdrTOg

cheers kite for reply.. i just broke my 640 screen the ribbon is just so weak :( and i was being pretty gentle but tight fit etc ... i thought it would withstand a tug or two oh well i still have the 240x default screen(removed the 640 brighter solder blob and commented out the config text back to 320 )to try so im putting that on now... and same thing funny colours flickering (ill get the pics now).,.. whilst its strange looking the rest of system seems A OK wifi on games running sound is good fan kicking in when needing so i hope i havent broken it further with my monkey fingers ! i will try the test thing i have to read about how to do it ... ps i tried removing the solder like in the video -maybe not enough or /i missed one i will have to try again now

Could you get a clear in focus picture of the back of the LCD connector, using a bright light or something.. and also which part of the LCD got broken? It is possible I can replace it

Err what happened here!? Did you try and remove the LCD connector? :| I can use other parts to repair other things and can fairly economically replace for you if it's returned as you won't need the CM3 or all the other bits.. if you want to take me up on that, send me a email and we can discuss arrangements.. if you email me sooner rather than later, just to get an idea of what it would take.. and from then on there would be no time pressures so only when you were ready would we continue :)
