Documents fading away after 1.7, if I use writing
Dear all,
I've just come across a very annoying problem after updating to 1.7. Before 1.7, when I did annotations, the page used to become grainy, with little dots, and it was not such a problem. Now when I start drawing over documents, the whole shades of black fade to grey quite quickly, and the document becomes hard to read as a result. I regret having performed the update, and I'd appreciate your response if you know how to downgrade. I don't want to sent it to Irex which would take weeks again, I was fine with 1.5, and this is obviously a software issue. Best regards Seref |

If you want to downgrade, download an older version of the firmware from http://updates.irexnet.com/embedded/dr1000/. Extract it to your SD-card, insert it in your reader and boot up. Groen |

Hi there,
A restart has fixed the problem, but it was different than the usual issue. It was basically the document getting invisible, which kinda makes it hard to read Good to know how to downgrade. Best Regards Seref |

I saw it too
I just had the same thing happen to me. For me as well, the problem was fixed by restarting. Just in case it was hardware related (like some button problems), I shut down orderly, then hit the reset button to boot it.
Here is a picture of a graybar before (top half) and after (bottom half) I had scribbled upon it (outside the pictured part) for a minute or so. http://www.math.ntnu.no/~hanche/tmp/...000-fading.jpg (Hmm, no inline images allowed? Well, just follow the link then.) |

Did you try refreshing the screen, rather than restarting?
Theoretically, the loss in contrast could be caused by the partial refreshes that occur during writing. If that is all that is happening, then triggering a full screen refresh should clean it up. |

Of course. That restored it, but then once more it faded quickly once I continued scribbling.
