fixing vertical streaks

lionus · Yesterday, 04:05 PM

Hi All,

I have my original kindle I got back in 2016 and jailbroke thanks to you guys then. My PW2 is extremely streaky - when opening up a book to read text it's actually fine, but the streaks make it non-usable in the menu section.

I Have a feeling that i might bre able to recover it with software by forcing it to have many screen refreshes, before I take it apart and force it via the ribbon cable. I can't really find much literature online about this, indeed most videos just point me to replacing the screen which I won't really want to do since it's not really worth it, but wanted to see if such software/tools exist within the JB scene?

Cheers

If it's fine when reading a book then I'd assume it's not a hardware problem. Do the streaks appear in the original Kindle UI, the KOReader UI, etc.?

No it's more that it's tolerable when i'm reading, because the streaks aren't visible somehow through the text, but as you can see here in the menu and with the screensaver they're bad. https://imgur.com/a/quMxUDv

In the UI it's horrible, i haven't tried KOR reader
