I got a serious problem with my PB902 - which went away (for now).
Not sure if it is software, hardware or battery issue.

White pages became striped - white/light gray horizontal stripes (even on pictures, on OFF logo in particular). At the same time, about 1/3 of all words on the page became very pale, barely visible, mostly at the left side. If refresh is switched to anything else than to refresh each page - only garbage on the screen after switching to the next page.
I tried switching off/on, rebooting, even the cold reset - removed the battery.
Nothing helped, those background stripes remained, and some words/letters still barely visible. Even when the charging cable was connected. Charging the battery did not help.

Then I left the device switched off for a couple of days. Then switched on again: everything is back to normal. No stripes, all the text is perfectly displayed.
So far so good, but not sure for how long ....
Anybody experienced something like that?
