Cracked Screen Poll

R2D2 · 04-03-2008, 12:58 PM

Put the iLiad in its case for protection. Put the case into backpack. Took the iliad out later and its screen looked like a mess. Hmmm...so it lookes like it is cracked, athough I don't know how this was possible, being it in it's pretty bulky and sturdy M-Edge case.

Anyways I wondered who else got a cracked screen. So please go ahead and vote.

No, you just were too fast responding. ;-)

He's like that, sometimes.

JSWolf · 04-03-2008, 01:07 PM

Well, you can make the post and the poll at the same time so the message is not displayed before the poll.

Hey give old R2D2 a break...he's very old technology. Afterall he was made a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...multi-tasking was not even thought of back then...

not quite right, my Amiga could multitask pretty well.

But actually I could only make the poll after publishing the thread, as previewing it didn't show up the poll configurator...

Anyways no respect for really early iLiad adopters anymore. Apparently.

Tribble:

Amiga...the next gen R2D2? snickersnicker....

And as for the respect for the early iLiad adopters...you folks are einky gawds...through you comes enlightenment...

{pssssst...guys...think he bought that last part?}

Hey R2D2, what do you mean in poll?
Broken=damaged or broken=cracked glass

I got a horizontal "line error" once, w/o broken glass.

The screen surface looks intact. But it shows all kind of lines and does not refresh anymore. So I meant damaged.

yokos · 04-03-2008, 01:59 PM

This doesn't sound like a warranty case

R2D2 · 04-03-2008, 02:03 PM

Yes, although it would say that the first generation is not fit for travel then. Which is pretty bad.

Adam B. · 04-03-2008, 02:25 PM

I have my first generation in an M-Edge case. I put it in my very overcrowded laptop bag every day. I'm not exactly gentle when I set my bag down either. I did setup a little extra protection for the screen within the case, but nothing major (a small sheet of cardboard). I haven't had a problem in a year and a half...

As with Adam B. I'm not overly gentle with my iLiad, I rely on the basic leather iLiad cover to protect it from what ever else is rattling around in my rucksack. So far no broken screen although it did develop a row of dead pixels (not damage related), which was eventually replaced under warranty.

katania · 04-03-2008, 02:37 PM

My screen also broke,
also only under the screentop but with horisontal and vertical lines ,and it didnt respond anymore.
I do know why though, my dear husband smashed the cardoor on the bag where the Iliad was,,,,,,,,,,,so,,,,,,,,,I was back to paperbacks for my vacation.

275 Euros ,and a month later it came back as new!!

Now it is beeing treated as a treasure!!
Cant aford to repair that again!
