screen fault
Got a couple of problems
While reading a book the screen on my reader seemed to take in imprint of the page i was reading. The top right corner of the screen has the imprint of some words still on it. I have tried the reset button but that didnt change anything. Should I try and reformat the reader or is the screen just broken? I have had it for nearly 2 years without any problems. Also recently after charging the reader it has taken a long time to load up after disconnecting from comp. Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks |

It's hard to say what is wrong with the screen without being able to see it. Can you post a pic?

Hi Sanki,
looks like the ink panel is mechanical broken. This is a huge expensive repair |

just my luck for it to be something expensive, its annoying that it has happened, i am always careful with the reader.
Looks like i will be saving up for a new one |
