Hi,

So, since this year my Touch Lux 3 started displaying horizontal lines in the middle of the screen.
They do not disappear after full page fresh.
They are displayed on every screen.
They are displayed when device sleeps.
They are displayed when device is off.

Firmware version: E626.5.14.1227 release date 20170718_041540.
Customizations: CoolReader added and set as default reading app for txt, epub and html.

It's long past warranty so I've opened it up (back cover only so far) and checked those flat rainbow connectors. All tried connecting and reconnecting them (all 3 of them - backlight, display, touchscreen) but it didn't help.

Plus, after leaving it for night for charging the lines appears to be wider (or there are more of them).

It now looks like this

Code:

Right now I'm trying to discharge it to see if the lines gradually disappear.

Has anyone seen something like this?
