These artifacts have survived through power cycling, resetting, turning pages until the forced refresh, and allowing the battery to run down to the full black screen (the band in the center remains white). When left over time (about three weeks now), some of the pixels have inverted themselves, but remain unresponsive to deliberate attempts to change them.
So, is it possible (doubtful though it seems) that there's a software solution to this? If not, is it repairable, or am I better off replacing my device? |
If its out of warranty your going to have to replace it. However it could be the ribbon strip that connects the main board to the screen may be slightly loose either at the mainboard or the screen connectors. Its usually (although not sure here) a slide in type interface with a push down/in fastener. Back things up first and then attempt to look if you feel up to it. here is a tear down for the touch should be similar but it will show you what I mean.
