Iliad screen is messed up

[orcinus]

Yeah, i know.

Like i said... A lot of people (me included) have problems regardless of the treatment their iLiads recieve.

People tend to discount a lot of screen problems as "user error" when it's, in fact, just like Don said: the manufacturing process is way to wonky for a mass product.

I gona buy now something absolutely secure. Look at this!

In minibag 2 the iLiad will fit perfectly. No twisting anymore, no nothing on screen.

Maybe not beautiful but I have a big bag. And I do NOT want to have this experience again, taking it out the bag and instantly knowing "You just threw 400$ down the drain"

I've been looking at this:



The middle, black one would fit nicely and provide plenty of protection from torsion and shear, i think

They don't show it on TV, but there's actually a whole deck of the USS Enterprise given over to screen repairs. Geordi Le Forge keeps nagging Picard about it, but he doesn't have to pay because there's no money in the 23rd century...

[orcinus]

Money might have been abolished in 23rd century, but the concept of service credits is still very much alive and well. Payable in viable organs and socially useful work (a euphemism for toilet scrubbing). Where do you think Picard's heart and hair went?

(Speaking of toilets, is there a hidden deck consisting of toilets too? )

Ok the return box is here. The return papers says I have to put all items / accessoires in that box. But that isn't possible.

Isn't it enough to just put the necessairy items in it?

They say that in case there is an unidentified problem which could be caused by the travel hub or the charger. If your screen is broken, then you probably will not have to include all the accessories. Especially that lareg plug, where noone knows how it fit into the package in the first place.

[Shaggy]

iRex has said before on their own forum that it's just a "standard" tech support letter. You don't really need to include all of the accessories if the problem has nothing to do with them. For a screen issue, just the device itself should be fine.

Ok thanks.

I'm pressing both thumbs for it ...

I'm glad to hear you say that, tribble. When I sold my iLiad I had a heck of job fitting everything back in the box to post it. I just couldn't figure out how it had all gone in in the first place .

"To sell one's iLiad" seems to have an oxymoronic ring to it. How come, Harry?

Cheers,

1. Too large to carry around everywhere with me.
2. Too slow to boot up.
3. (the "killer" for me) - Very primitive implementation of MobiPocket reader. The lack of bookmarks was a "show-stopper" for me; I need the ability to bookmark pages with errors on when I proof-read the books that I've created.

For me personally, the CyBook Gen3 is a much better machine.

Ahhh. Ok, ANYthing is sanctioned if it only keeps you going at creating the books! Btw., I absolutely appreciate what you do there for us (and the ebook per se). Thank you VERY much for all your efforts, it's really a marvellous work!

Cheers,
- Don [:-] who has decided to ignore all the obvious but (for him) minor quirks and to be addicted to his iLiad...

[joblack]

I just spent 275 Euro in a new screen (I suppose).

Hopefully this will be the last incident.

If you want to be sure you need something like this.
