## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF, THE PILOT NOTICED THAT THE TOP OF THE VEMD SCREEN HAD REVERTED BACK FROM THE STANDARD FLI IN FLIGHT SCREEN TO THE 3 PARAMETERS SCREEN & HAD A FLI FAILURE IN YELLOW ON THE INFORMATION BLOCK OF THE SCREEN. ABORTED FLIGHT & LANDED SAFELY & ONLY WHEN TAKING THE ACFT FROM THE FLIGHT GATE SETTING BACK TO THE IDLE SETTING DID THE PILOT RECEIVE A FLASHING AMBER GOV LIGHT ON THE MASTER CAUTION & WARNING PANEL.  SHUTDOWN THE ACFT AS NORMAL & REPORTED TO MECHANIC.  PERFORMED CLEANING ELEC CONNECTORS ON THE T4.5 MATCHING JUNCTION BOX IAW AMM.  TROUBLESHOOTING MANUALS & VEMD FLM. ACFT REMAINS OOS AT THIS TIME, AWAITING AN INSULATION TESTER TO PERFORM ADDITIONAL TROUBLESHOOTING.
