I've got blot on Kindle 3

KukMan · 10-13-2010, 03:20 PM

Hi. I noticed small blot on the screen yesterday. Thinking its program problem, I've restarted device. But blot didn't dissapear.
Kindle hasn't any manual damage, I don't miss it on floor etc.
It seems, Blot it is under glass, but glass hasn't any signs of damage. it is perfectly smooth as was early. I think, screen isn't damaged because it display something under blot. I think, it is between glass and screen.
Where have I got it from? I've sent several photos.

On my original K2 I had what looked like a faint smudge in the middle of my screen. Amazon cheerfully replaced it.

Mine has the exact same thing. Doesn't feel like a scratch. Called Amazon and they are sending a replacement.

This is called a "ruptured capsule". It happened to my iRex too. Ugly! They should replace it for you.

Is it e-ink screen so fragile? Why did this ruptured capsule appeared? How prevent this?
My kindle didn't get any physical damage.

I don't think it's caused by physical damage - mine had been sitting protected when it appeared. I don't think it's a very common occurrence though as there aren't very many references to this reported on mobileread.

I've called them, and they will send me new kindle =)

can happen also if you overcharge/battery expands and puts pressure on the screen from the inside, rupturing the e-ink display =(
