Probably not. Checking for faulty LCD connectors and dry solder joints involves a fairly substantial disassembly of the unit.
The most you can hope for short of that is to remove the unit from the car, power it up, and then check the LCD performance when you vibrate or slap the unit. You might also find that the fault occurs more frequently when the unit is stone cold or when it's warmed up as thermal contraction and expansion can affect loose or faulty connections. But if that identifies the conditions which produce the fault symptoms then it will still need disassembly to try and locate the exact cause(s).
