Reply With QuoteMy torx screwdriver still fits perfectly in the LM 1440 screws, but slips in the non-LM 1440 screws. So Neil's assumption someone else may have had a go at it before me is a likely scenario. Will have to try other means.Originally Posted by dasilvarsa

Some screws are badly over-torqued in my experience and I've often had to exert considerable downwards pressure while simultaneously tuning. All 1xxx screws heads are T5 as far as i know, however I've also seen some screw heads that were quite burred, almost stripped, by previous attempts [not me] requiring replacement afterwards. Maybe it's been got at before, as it's unlikely the screws have been replaced with those of a different head ....?
EDIT: Dasil beat me by ... that ... much [a poofteenth]. So, what he said too.

Today successfully swapped screens between the two nüvi's 1440. The backlight issue stayed with the same screen. In time I may replace that one, although the brightness only fluctuates the first 5 to 10 minutes while the screen "warms up".
Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts with me in this thread.

Yep, a dry joint somewhere in the screen itself. Maybe will eventually fail completely but at least you've got it on the non-LM now.
