Hello,

Yesterday night my Cybook started acting strange. Initially the screen looked fine until I selected a book or tried to scroll the menu forward. The screen had lines, ghosting and other bizarre behaviors. The unit was fully charged.

What I did discover was if I took out the SD card everything appeared to work fine. So, I reformatted the SD card and recopied the books over. Same problem still existed.

Then I tried coping the books directly to the internal memory. That actually seems to work other than the strange screen when I disconnect from the computer. If I turn off and back on a normal screen appears. At least I can scroll and read.

My question is: Do you think this is strictly a SD card issue or a hardware issue?

Of course, I am scheduled to go to Hawaii in 2 weeks! For those of you who have sent your in for repairs - how long it it take?

Thank you!
