Line across the screen

Gibbo · 11-11-2007, 10:02 AM

Whiles transferring books to the Cybook a line appeared across the screen round about the middle tried a few page turns and it's still there, battery is at 100% any thoughts?

Turn off the Cybook.

If it's still there when you turn it back on, then the screen is defective.

Gibbo · 11-11-2007, 10:08 AM

Yep it's still there when turned back on, sending email to Bookeen.

How annoying for you

. Please do let us know what Bookeen say about repair arrangements.

After a few minutes with the cybook off turned I it on and the line was fainter after a few page turns it disappeared!!!. Switched it off and on a few times and it's fine.

Good news!

Gibbo · 11-11-2007, 12:43 PM

Actually this past hour it has appeared and disappeared 3 times so what gives?.

Derek's Cybook Gen3 also has a line on his screen.

HarryT · 11-12-2007, 02:14 AM

Sounds like an intermittent fault on the screen controller. Needs replacing, I fear.

Is it black or white line? White line could be from ghosting and disappears when you switch on Flashing Refresh. M.

Probably a loose contact. I guess you will have to return the unit.

JSWolf · 11-12-2007, 04:34 AM

Will Bookeen pick up the shipping from you to them?

No. You pay for the shipping to them. They pay for the shipping back to you. That's the way it generally works with European warranties.
