It looks like very faint ghosting, similar to the last page ghost you get when you change a page, but it behaves quite differently.

1. It appears several seconds after the device starts up and slowly darkens as the page sits frozen on startup.
2. It spreads out and you can almost visually watch it move.

If anything I think it's some kind of short in the controller. Actually if it weren't for the fact that the device gets frozen on the startup page I might not have noticed it for a while.
I wouldn't worry about that so much. Mine does that too. As soon as the display controller is initialized and does a refresh, it's gone. In your case, because of the other defect, that may not happen as soon or at all, which is why the effect becomes more pronounced.

This also happens when sketching: the black particles start to drift upward as the controller is only updating the area you are currently sketching on, but as soon as you do a full refresh (like entering the menu) it disappears.

Hopefully the button issue is easy to repair and you get it back soon.! (or a even new one, though there seems to be a bit of a shortage right now )
