If it's fully charged, then it looks like a broken substrate or display controller.

Usually it's pretty obvious which (display controller is all lines and 45 degree angles. Broken subtrate looks cracked with curves etc etc).

In this case however while you have the lines and angles across most of the screen that smudgy bit in "continue reading" on the top left of the screen looks more like a substrate issue.

Oddly I have seen very similar on my 505, luckily in my case it was just a charging issue.

I assume you've tried a hard reset with the button on the back _since_ you've charged it?
