Sorry for the delayed update!
In order to do a proper test I bought 2 more XD
One was dead but in great condition, another working but wrecked. A bargain at £168 for the pair. Transplanting the working motherboard from the scratched up one, into the frame with the screen pictured - bad news. Although the screen light came on, the actual screen did not refresh. I further tested by re-transplanting that working motherboard into the dead-but-pristine frame, where it is still working. I have decided that means the screen pictured in my original post is broken.
So I now have a working one in a pristine frame which is worth at least the £168 outlay, I reckon. Yay.
The motherboard that came inside the pristine one turned out to have had the battery pierced and the micro SD card ripped off the board. Fun. I've parked that in the frame with the broken screen to make a broken+broken one.
That leaves the scratched up frame and the motherboard from my original Libra 2. I think it's fair to say given the image on the broken screen, that it failed during a firmware update. With that in mind I am not downloading the image kindly sent to me through DM and writing it to a new microSD card. Update to follow as to whether that motherboard is salvageable.
