Hi,

I received my Kindle 3 WiFi (B008) with firmware 3.0.2 yesterday and had the SS hack installed on it a few hours later. I now notice that images are not rendering correctly:

eg. https://skitch.com/todor/rygx5/dsc03151 and https://skitch.com/todor/rygx6/dsc03152

A video of the Home-to-Screensaver transition is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxzH6zXk2CI

I am 100% certain that this was not an issue when I first booted the device as I used the browser as well as put the device in&out of sleep to see all the default screensavers. I attempted a jailbreak+SS uninstall, restore to factory defaults as well as upgrading to firmware 3.0.3 without any luck.

Could this be as a result of the SS hack or is it likely to be a hardware fault? (eg. any ideas on how to fix it or should I be sending it back to Amazon?

)
