Dead pix... erm, actually, zomby lines!

Didn't post this under Troubleshooting as it appears to have troubleshot itself

Did anyone experience their iLiad screen suddenly develop a dead... ish... line then spontaneously loose it over the course of a few hours?

I had it happen today and it wasn't very pleasant. I had a line about a centimeter and a half from the top that wouldn't display anything right except pure black. All grays came out lighter than the surrounding area, so it was pretty visible, especially in the sun. Oh, and you could see the line clearly all the way through a screen refresh.

Just as i was contemplating my bad luck with dead pixels, random twinkly hyperactive subpixels, sticky pixels, bouncy pixels, pixels with ADD and other screen malaises that seem to keep following me wherever i go, the line started fading away and disappeared completely after another screen refresh.

Never experienced anything like it on Sony Reader. Weird.
