I have the 'lines through the screen' issue with both my green and my blue
Garmins (whatever the model names are). I have found that if I 'play with'
the power button, (ie. lightly press it), it will fix the display. It's
almost as if those contacts are dirty as well.

My Vista acts up, also. Maps are nice, but I've reverted to a Geko for
simple things like marking truck location.
The joystick needs exercise. I think the contacts get dirty / corroded. I've
just played with it a while (you know what I mean!) and it starts working
again.
As for the screen, I don't think it's software (I could be wrong), because
hitting it against my hand makes it work right.

My EV is about to give up the ghost; case chipped at the cable connector,
joystick very erratic, lines through the display ( not so much since I
reloaded the software. Any suggestions, regarding getting it fixed, before
I send it back to Garmin with my $125. No, I really don't a "C" model; I
don't want a MAC, er, a Magellan; I really, really like the EV.
