But yes, if you could I think I'm out of ideas as to what's happening now (or not happening).

The area where the neck board ribbon meets the main board would be good to see. Every picture I've seen has this area covered up by the ribbon so I might have missed something there.

I've discovered 800x600 will display fine, if a little narrow. All other resolutions seem to be doubled or trippled on the horizontal though. I assume the relay should click when is switches resolutions?
I thought the same, that's why I have resoldered the entire neck board, didn't help I have also resoldered the ribbon, still nothing.

It's an extremely temperamental issue and it almost always only happens if the unit is hot.

Could it be caps?

Yep, the relay clicks when it switches resolutions.
