Still Fresh
I haven't used my pandora for a couple of months, and today when i tried turning it on, the LCD was completely dead, save for the backlight. I have the OS installed on a SD card, but no amount of restarting, with or without the OS card, makes a difference. I have tried to charge the battery and even tried with external power only, but it still wont work. I can tell its booting from the activity leds, and even the wifi led comes on after a while.
I must admit i have had it open once when i got it to fix the wobbly shoulder pads with a few pieces of scotch tape and super glued a broken screw hole (i am guessing from a overtightened screw, pretty sure i didn't break it). Anyway i am sure thats not the cause as the unit worked for months without problems, and i did the fix when i got it. It's one of the first units, around nr. 40, according to the serial, so im guessing its the lcd cable as the first 100 had problems with those? Or do you think its something i can fix myself? I don't really care if its fixable under warranty, i just want the little guy to work again.
