Just use logic and follow the route, could be something simple like a broken connection.

What about the earths at the top of the screen behind the rear view mirror?

Far more likely that one or more of the strands are broken inside the screen. I see it all the time, very common

so if one of the strands are broken in the screen that would stop the whole thing working? could a chip cause this?

I would do a continuity test on the screen. Like tabetha said and just follow the route. Not much too them to be honest

The wiring plugs in to a connector near the stereo (Round the back of the wiring harness, so cannot be seen if looking straight on. You need to pull it round!
