Fine lines at bottom of screen?

Hey everyone,

I got the H20 Edition 2 about a week ago and haven't had any issues so far, but suddenly some fine lines have appeared at the bottom of the screen (and nowhere else). It doesn't interfere too much with the reading experience, but they are especially visible whenever there is a page refresh.

Is this a hardware issue, or should I try a factory reset?

Looks like a hardware fault to me.

Looks like a hardware issue with the screen controller to me, I'm sorry to say. I'd get the device replaced.

Ya, if that's a week old device I'd get it replaced. That's not normal.
