I bought my VZ used about 1999 and the display showed similar problems, but it 
wasn't packed well for shipping anyway. Since it's been a while since I opened 
the VZ I'm not sure anymore what exaclty I did but I think it improved a bit 
after opening the display and cleaning the contacts between electronics and when 
combining display and electronics, I pressed the the two parts together as hard 
as possible.

It should look like this...

Mine is still shifting a few lines every now and then, but I hardly see the 
display since CZ and VZ are place above each other on a Keyboard holder, and 
besides turning off the memory protection I mostly use the computer to control 
the VZ-1...

I don't think it's a serious problem, in my case the Keyboard suffered from 
transportation as well, so I had to open the synth anyway, fortunately it wasn't 
too hard to fix...
