Sometimes the nav screen flashes off and on. The radio will work and the Corvette logo will come on then go dark. I tried to open and close the screen. It opened and now won't close. I press the button and maybe get a beep but no movement. Everything else is fine.

You could get lucky and try pulling the fuse or disconnect the battery, which may reset the unit.
Remember to re-index windows.

I agree, I would try the fuse first. If that doesn't do it then I would think it would be the flexible ribbon cable that connects the movable screen with the main body of the radio.

I was looking at the ribbon. Can't see how it attaches.

The unit has to come apart in the back to get at the ribbon. I started to do it to see if I could get to the inside to clean the CD and DVD laser optic lens, but I quit before i broke something. I used a CD cleaner disc and that did the trick. I would love to be brave enough to completely take it apart, but it could become a $400.00-$500.00 experiment

Today the screen just went back in place on it's own. So far so good.
