Don't know exactly what causes this, but have heard it's due to heat breaking down the contact points on the PCB at the back of the unit. Sorry folks, I only know of the problem, and have no solution, or idea on how/cost to fix it.
I bought a rebuilt unit (with lifetime warranty) for my TS50 and it's in 100% working order. Noticed some melted plastic type material on the back where the "strip"(?) of wire that comes off the LCD screen, meets the PCB on the back.

Just had my AU fairmont LCD display repaired by a guy in Melb called Ayhan. He runs a business repairing LCD screens, and specialises in AU fords.
You can contact him via his web site

Cost is $50 plus postage (all up worked out at $70 for mine including express post) I mailed it on Tues arvo and got it back before I went to work Fri morning
I can't speak highly of this guy, it;'s not often you get good service at a decent price these days....and fully guaranteed
Mine has only been back in the car for 2 weeks but so far works a treat
Also repairs other LCD devices, and willing to have a look at ones he hasn't seen before (currently looking at Harley Davidson speedo LCD odometer)
No I'm not related to him, just giving good service a plug
Cheers
