Hi all,

I just replaced the screen on my Kobo Clara BW and have been getting a weird issue. When the screen refreshes it looks fine, but after about thirty seconds the screen goes all grainy (see pictures). I've updated the VCOM to match the new screen and as far as I can tell the motherboard is connected to the screen correctly. I didn't see any damage on the leads as I was reassembling the kobo, though I'm not sure if that dent in the battery has something to do with it. Any ideas on what might be going on?
