Jailbroken and Custom ScreenSaver killed it! - Page 2

ok, now I am truly confused after seeing the screenshots....

On the pics it looks very much like 4 cracks running diagonally from middle left to top right.
As far as I know, there is glass under the plastic top layer.

The kindle screenshots look fine as it doesn't know it has a cracked screen.

couple of close pics. It doesnt look like cracks to me because of the vertical and horizontal lines that are remnants of the screensaver image, but that is JMHO...

I'm 100% certain that's cracked now after seeing the closeups. Sorry!

Those horizontal and vertical lines are rows of pixels that have been switched on or off by broken and crossed circuits in the display. The cracks themselves are curved.

Yeh just do a Google image search for cracked e-ink screen

Thanks for taking the pics. It is a broken screen and has nothing to do with the screensaver hack.

Make sure you get a cover for your new Kindle if you don't already have one.
