DJ LiQUiD, try repairing the firmware (the one that gives you the black lines) using the s1fwx tool from this site. Then upgrade with the repaired firmware. Maybe this will help solve the problem.
What was your original version? Maybe I can try finding you a compatible firmware.
By the way, which firmware were you talking about when you said you could see but it was too bright? Did you try adjusting the brightness of the lcd? If you still have that firmware, there's a firmware modifier tool on this site that allows you to change the contrast of the screen. Maybe that will help solve your problem.
Let me know if this helps 8)
