My factory radio in my 13 Silverado works fine other than the lcd display. It blanks out a lot. Pressing on the display with my hands fixed it but if I let go it goes back to being either garbled or blank. Is there any way to take this apart and fixing it by resold wrong or something?

 

Could be a loose/corroded ribbon cable or hardened LCD flex connector

First step would be to disconnect and remove the unit from the car.

With what shall I fix it, dear Liza, dear Liza?

 

Remove the rubbery zebra strip, wipe both sides with a q-tip or cloth moistened with isopropanol, also wipe the circuit board and LCD contacts. Reassemble with the zebra strip turned end for end. That worked with a Fluke DMM that had a sketchy display.
