Green & purple patches on GC Pandora screen.

[dmarschal]

I have a problem with my 512/GC pandora. Bought in 2009 from Craig, upgraded and received in 05/2012.


Sometimes it shows green and purple patches when I open the screen.


I have reseated the LCD cable a day ago but the patches still remain.


Screen gets back to normal after half a minute or if I move the lid.


Is it a power issue or the cable?


Any suggestions?

Had someing like this and ED fixed it. It was something with the connector, not the cable itself, I think.

sounds like the connector is loose, ED might be able to talk you trough on how to fix it easily, it depends on which connector is loose, if its the one attached to the screen its easy, if its the one connected to the motherboard, then it aint easy, and you might be better off to send it to ED.

mcobit, Foxgod: thank you. I will contact ED to arrange an RMA.
