Hi everyone,

I recently dropped my Onyx M92 from a height of about 30cm while still in its case. It landed on its end, either on the power button side, or on the opposite side, and then fell flat. I thought it landed softly and would be fine. Well, there is no obvious damange to the screen / housing, but when I turn it on the screen is a mess of horizontal and vertical lines. Here's a youtube video of me turning it on and then trying some of the controls

I'd be grateful if someone could tell me if they think the screen is broken, or if it's some other issue... I'm hoping that it's some loose connection inside or that a ribbon is gone, because it seems like replacing the screen is almost as expensive as buying a new one.

Thanks in advance!
Steve
