Screen won't work, sometimes - N95 8GB

Question

Hi,
Had a few problems as of lately with my N95 8GB, not really impressed with it to be honest.
Amongst other things, the worst problem would have to be the slider mechanism.
- I'm not sure how to explain it properly as it's complicated, so please bare with me -
Every time I move the slider from Landscape(music player) to Portrait(key-pad and all) the screen goes black until the bottom of the slider reaches above the 7, 8, 9 keys. Essentially, it doesn't work from starting to move it to the Portrait mode from the Neutral position, to just before revealing the whole 7, 8, 9 keys.
Music and the like play in the background through all this happening, as the phone just goes into the "locked mode" and the screen turns off, so the phone is still on.
Ofcourse there are exceptions, like when I move the slider up and down fast, and seem to trick the phone, but I'm guessing that's mostly irrelevant.
tl;dr The screen doesn't work for the middle third of the entire slider movement.
Not too mention the secondary camera not working - period, or my calls only working on loud-speaker.
Yep, this is the least of my worries.
Anyway, thanks for any help in advance, hope you can help.
And one final note, I'm stuck on firmware v 11.x something, and I run my computer on Vista. Since NSU doesn't support Vista, is their anyway to update it to v 20.x without going to a Care Center or whatever they are called?

Hi All,
Probably the Secondary camera of my N95 8 GB purchased just a week ago is not working
I discovered it when i used the secondary camera yesterday for the first time
When i use the sec. camera, only a bright yellow screen appears. The pictures taken are just a combination of red & yellow dots. Can anyone help ??
