Flip Down Dvd No Image Or Backlight

[KJT]

I have'05 limited, and the screen started to play up a few months ago and I'd need to open and close it a few times to get it to show the movie image.

I have not used it for a while and now upon trying it i get no image or backlight (used a torch but no image seen at all). Movie sound plays fine, remote controls functions as it should, headphones work fine, 4 red lights on roof sensor come on. All fuses in the fuse box are good (tested with multimeter).

I have partially disassembled the screen but I can see nothing particularly untoward. I have done continuity testing on the main multi cable that routes through the screen aperture/casing as I thought that would have a break in it but it tests fine.

 

I would like to point out that my knowledge of electronics at circuit board level is limited but I can make soldering repairs etc if I know what to replace etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I might try next?

Mine was doing this when I first got it... I wound up taking the screen apart and the problem was the little metal half circle that creates the connection to turn the screen on or off when flipping the screen.

I took it out and then just put it back in and that seemed to fix it.

It had probably been knocked out of position a little bit

That's very helpful thank you.
