Kindle 2 Screen Issue
Hi, my name is Horacio and I'm new to the forums. Hope you can help!
I have a Kindle 2 and its screen now shows up like this: Original image: A / B / Image that is actually displayed: A / A / The screen itself works, but the bottom half is the repeated upper half at all times. When flipped to landscape, the left half is the repeated right half at all times. What could be happening? I got this as a "gift" given it wasn't powering up. Managed to reset, power it up and that's what I got. I updated to the latest firmware and it remains the same. Reseated the screen flatcable 3 times, same results. In my opinion, the flat cable is faulty, but I can't be sure. Here's a video showing how it works at the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIYI4WstriY Can anyone give advice? Amazon customer service advised on replacing the device (out of warranty). Thanks a lot! |

Wondering IF some one downloaded something to cause the split screen... Have you hooked it to your PC & checked? Seems to me IF they did you could just delete the program using the PC.
