So...it doesn't work....ok, it flickers sometimes. Dealer said needs new screen...$2200, uh, no.

Options? Used, aftermarket, tricks to maybe get this one working, animal sacrifice....I'm open to whatever, but not for unreasonable amount of money.

Thanks all!

Did you ever get it fixed? I did it myself. The trick is finding the correct screen.

No, not yet. Haven't found a screen for a reasonable price.. ugh.

You might have to buy the entire display screen unit which are available in the $400 range on eBay. I don't remember the actual screen part number to look it up. If you can take apart yours, you can try to find one which is how I did it. BTW, the wiring that supplies the power to the screen rubs along the screen sheet metal frame which causes it to short. I covered that area with kapton tape to avoid future shorts with the new screen.
Buying the entire screen assembly may cost more, but it's a lot easier to replace even though you still may want to open it and apply the kapton tape, or similar in the corner region to avoid shorting.

I found the part number, LB070WV1-TD01 New 7" inch LCD screen display for car navigation. This is what I bought to replace my screen on my 2008 c300. Verify the part number for your application to be sure. They are available on eBay in the $200 range. Youtube has instructional videos on removing the display unit. Good luck. Mine still works after replacing it six years ago.
