Gray and black stripes on screen [see attachment]

Has anyone seen something like this on the Pandora's screen before? (see attachment)

I have not used my Pandora for 2 weeks, and today, suddenly the screen stopped working.

It is really weird because when the screen turns on (for example right after starting the Pandora or right after getting out of the power save mode) I can see the screen and what is on it (it is not completely clear but at least I can see something), but this just longs for 0.5 seconds (more or less) Then, the screen just shows many gray and black stripes (as you can see in the attached file)

I guess, it is a hardware issue but apparently it happened without using my Pandora (2 weeks ago it was working smoothly)

Should I check the screen connections? Am I hopeless?

Is it an original 256M ram model, a 512M ram rebirth or a 1GHz unit ?

does it persist in an screen position?

 a 1GHz unit, purchased from EvilDrangon's shop in November, 2012.

does it persist in an screen position?

Whatever I do, it does not change, it is always like that. The position does not matter.

Thanks for your answers!!

If you feel confident with fiddling with things, try reseating your LCD cable

Else, contact ED to get it fixed or replaced

Thanks Binky, I will try to reseat my LCD even if do not feel really confident (what is the life without risk?  )


Anyway, I will wait a couple of days just in case someone comes with another answer.


By the way, is this video useful or is it out of date?:

Definitely still useful, slightly outdated but well worth watching
