MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - horizontal line on screen of Kobo Aura One

I've just got a brand new Kobo Aura One (firmware 4.1.7729) and I've used it for a few hours a day for some days.

Recently, a horizontal line appeared on screen. Whatever I do, it doesn't seem to go away.
It's always staying there (while reading, on the home screen, on the setting screens, etc.).

Stuff I've already tried:
tinkering with the light settings, rebooting, leaving the device powered off all night long, displaying images and then text, setting the screen refresh at every page turn or after 6 pages, doing a reset to factory settings.

Stuff I haven't tried:
doing a complete discharge/recharge cycle.

Any ideas about how to fix this (assuming it's something actually fixable)?
