Got an update on this.
I sent my unit back to the manufacturer (at my cost) and they said they repaired it and would send it back (at my cost).
They did not accept PayPal as payment and demanded Western Union, I told them I don't use Western Union as its very unsecure.
They would only accept a bank transfer if I paid them double what they wanted if the money was sent via Western Union (which I ended up doing).
The unit got returned after being away for 2 weeks with a new TF card in it.
I turned it on and the unit had EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM!
None of the boards inside had been changed and no visable repairs had been done (I had marked the boards before shipping it).
I sent the manufacture a rather blunt email informing them of the problem and they ignored my email.
It has cost me over $100US, 10 emails and 2 weeks to get ABSOLUTLY NOWHERE.
In short, if your unit breaks, your on your own as the manufacturer does not care.
I'm pretty sure a replacement unit would of cost the manufacturer LESS THAN WHAT I PAID IN FREIGHT and I would of been here commending there service
rather then bad mouthing them.
Anyway, seeing the manufacturer did not want to help me, I identified and fixed the problem myself in 15 minutes.
Here is how to fix your unit if you get the display problem.
There are two boards inside the case, the motherboard and the display board.
They are connected by a 24 pin block connector. The soldering on the display board is very poor and full of dry joints.
Simply resolder all the connections and problem fixed.
I have included photos of the display problem and the connection you have to re-solder.
Hope this helps somebody else out!
