Voyage Yellow Screen Problems - How to Fix - Let the Glue Dry ??

[IluvToRead]

I was reading through the comments for the Kindle Voyage and there was multiple complaints about the Yellow screen issues. There was a few people who commented that the problem can be fixed by letting the glue dry.

This comment was interesting:

I like the Kindle Voyage... I like the page press option. I had the yellow/blue screen. I believe it is a glue issue in the manufacturing process. If you are fortunate to have good weather (like we have in SoCal right now,) leave your kindle voyage in the sun for a couple of hours. This worked for my voyage. Seriously, it worked for me so leave feedback if this works or not for yourself to help other voyage adopters. Thanks! 4/5 because of screen issues.

I saw another comment about just letting it dry:

I have some similarly discolored areas as well. I'm hoping that it is an issue similar to the iPhone had where there is still glue drying in between the screens because it was manufactured so recently. IF that is the case, it goes away in a couple days... at least it did for the iPhones.

If anyone else has had success from just leaving the Kindle Voyage in the sun for a couple of hours, maybe they would like to post their experiences.

This could save alot of returns, and hassles with Amazopn customer service.

That is the same thing they said about the Paperwhite 1. I didn't work.

That was a different issue though. That was more uneven bruising, like spilled juice on the screen. It was jagged and not uniform at all.

This ones uniform and gradual.

Still very skeptical, but to me - the voyage issue isn't what I went through with either of my paper whites.

It is the same issue, just a bit different in how it displays. The light layer causes tinting and shadows.

I can confirm this. Urban legends at work here.

My second KV looks exactly like my PW1 - bruised and discolored, mottled looking in addition to the graduation in the screen coloring, with a diagonal graduation rather than horizontal.
