Hi,


On my pandora, out of the blue, a light-gray stripe appeared one day. I just stay here now, all the time. It's a little bit annoying.


See the picture attached. It's just the display, all screenshot I do are all correct. Pandora-white_stripe.JPG


Should I try to open the Pandora and "play" with the LCD Cable (I don't want to RMA if it's possible) ?
 
If you're able to open your Pandora then you might get some LCD-Cable from us and replace it on your own.


Unfortunately I can't tell you if it's the screen or the cable.


As the cable is the cheaper solution and the more fragile part I'd advice you to check it first.


If you replace the cable please send us the broken one back. This solution is faster and cheaper.


That's the only solution I can think of if you don't want to send you unit in.
 
You can try to reseat the cable.


Don't screw back too much, you can hurt the plastic case.


If you're coming soon to Paris, or know someone that will make the trip, i can change the cable or the screen.

To *me* it looks like the screen is failing... Had the same thing happen to an old laptop of mine. First one line appeared, then another.... then another.


Mine were all one pixel in width though...
 
Follow up on the thread.


So I went to Linux-SWAT's shop in Paris.


It's a little cramped but a nice little shop, with so many things...


My Pandora is now working. It was not the cable, but the LCD screen that was faulty !


I can witness that the openning of the screen-case is ... well ... to doable by every one ! I am glad Linux-SWAT did it.


Also, the LCD Cable that must be twisted, with the WIFI Antenna inside... Hum, many tricky things in fact when you are dealing with the LCD !


The whole toke 2h at least, it is quite difficult to fully open the Pandora, and also to rebuild it !


So, thanks again to Linux-SWAT for fixing my Pandora !


I can go back to compiling now !
 
Yeah, sorry for your train :/.


It took a long time because i lost a bit of practice since the Rebirth, and once the lid were closed, i had to reopen it because one part were new and didn't fit well.
