Dear Jos, so you didn't even touch the display, yet it is failing now? That is not the way displays go bad typically, they rather fade or sometimes the internal power supply for the display in the Boom fails which causes the display to never turn on. Maybe there is an easier way out for you. If the display can still show you stuff but it is distorted, a Xilinx reset or a factory reset might help. This page (at the bottom) has guides on how to do the reset: 'http://wiki.funkydojo.com/mediawiki/index.php/Squeezebox_Boom ' (http://wiki.funkydojo.com/mediawiki/index.php/Squeezebox_Boom)Please give this a try first and let us all know how it turned out. I can still take a direct look at the Boom if it stays distorted.
