Screen fault; Any chance of fix?
There's a line that runs down the screen as shown in the attached image. It didn't happen from a drop or knock it happened while I was reading. Is there any chance of fixing it without replacing the screen?

It's not the screen. The problem is with the screen controller and chances are that it will get worse.

Jon could be right, if you are lucky it might just be a slightly loose connection (Happened on my Pyrus), take the back off and unplug/replug everything.
Not got my Hanlin to hand, anyone remember how easy they are to take apart? |

I disconnected and reconnected the screen and it did nothing.
I'm just going to replace it with a Kindle. I got my monies worth out of it, you can tell by how filthy it is |
