Faint Screen tiny horizontal lines
My wife & I have Sony readers.
My wife's PRS600 has developed a very faint screen. It is dim like when the reader is booting up. If I look closely I see light horizontal lines across the screen. The books display, the pages turn, but the screen is faint because of the light lines. I note the same effect on the screen of my PRS600 when I turn it on and power up. These lines disappear after boot up is complete on mine. I don't use the Sony bookstore. I just upload ebooks from Calibre. Sony telephone support did not seem to understand and just sent an email with two options, soft reset and hard reset. I tried the soft reset - no effect. Appreciate suggestions. Thanks. |

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately hard reset X3 has failed to remove the faint horizontal screen lines. My wife and I leave in 5 days for a 2 week vacation. (That's why we got the readers, so we didn't have to carry a lot of books) We don't have time to send the device to Sony. Do you have any other suggestions for fixing the problem? Thanks very much.
