Another screen question
Hey all,

Wondering if anyone can give me some advice on my Aura screen.

Recently the screen was broken so I order a replacement which I fitted today.
Fitting went well, and all appeared to be ok, but something isn't right.

When the screen does a full refresh, everything updates nicely and looks great.
However, partial refreshes only updates 50% of the screen properly, leaving 50% with image from previous refresh.

It doesn't to affect book pages, just menu settings.

I have re-seated the ribbon cables, reset the device, checked firmware... Anyone got any ideas/thoughts?


Thanks

That's good... but also weird. Corruption in the firmware? I'm trying to figure out what would cause this. Anyhow, happy you got it working.

Could be that something needed to be updated for the new screen and the reset did just that.
