Could it be a problem with whatever circuitry is providing the power? Do you have the screen plugged into the power supply, or though some other device?
Could it be loose power or video cables?

That is the problem that I'm having, I have it pluged in the cig lighter... there is 12v there... once the car warms up, the LED starts to flash... it's quite strange

the manual doesn't mention anything about this but it does say that them temp operating temp range of the unit is 5-45 Degrees C. but I've never seen a switching cct that verifies this.
