Crashed LCD Display and more frustration

Oh dear,
Well, it all started off so well. The build instructions were superb and everything went together really easily. After fiddling a bit with the Pinda Probe, the X,Y,Z calibration and what I thought was a great first layer tune were a breeze.
I printed out a few items on the SD card and tuned the live-z and then felt brave enough to move onto something more complicated. I therefore began printing the 14 piece lightsaber featured on Tested. A few minor hick-ups along the way, I managed a beautiful print. Then everything started to go down hill.
Failed after failed print. Layers falling off supports, very inconsistent prints and a lot of time and filament wasted.

Here is an example in another thread i started https://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3-f30/anybody-know-what-is-causing-this--t12649.html#p56990 .

So tonight I returned to the live z and first layer calibration (after speaking with support on the chat who's just abandoned me). As you can see from the screen shots in the picture on the above thread, the first layer print is totally inconsistent.

The support staff member kept telling me to adjust the measurement right down on the z. Still unable to get consistent lines, the nozzle then starts making a clicking noise and backing the filament up. I guess it's just too close to the bed now despite being miles away from where the support staff member says i can take it down too. To cut a long story short, i have inconstant lines and the last little square it prints always appears that the nozzle is either too low or too high. 😕

So, now i've resorted to adjusting the Pinda probe down a little and starting over with the X,Y,Z calibration in the hope that resolves the issue and what happens...
So, it asks me if the Steel plate was on the bed. I answered yes and it told me to take it off. I did and clicked the button for the next instruction and the LCD screen crashed. 😮 😯 😕 ❗

I turned it off and on again.

By the end of writing this thread, i am through the calibration and on to the live-z first layer tune now. Have to say, it's still inconsistent and the end square that is printed feels rough. I am down at -0.822mm so far.
