You could try deleting all the channels, factory ressetting and reinstalling the latest firmware.

everything ok expect for display... not a big deal but not great...

i opened up the box and removed the cables connecting the display, there appears to be a little burn mark on the top right corner of the glass... at least i think it is....

just a lot of random light on/flicking when loading and while loaded

Not so much come across what you have but starting from scratch eliminates quite a lot.

I'd definitely agree with DW190 about factory reset here's a link to current F4 firmware Skybox F4 GPRS Software(120920)_Shenzhen Yojia Technology Co., Ltd. (http://www.yojiatech.com/a/Support/Download/Skybox_F4/2012/0920/246.html) I haven't used it added it incase it's a help to you
