Horizontal stripes on screen > display cable?

[Amon_Re]

Hi guys,

My OpenPandora seems to have developed an issue with it's display, I have intermittant horizontal stripes on the screen. According to the sticky topic there's extended warrenty on these kinds of issue's but little information as to how to actually request a repair.

Anyone care to point me in the right direction? I bought it at ED's shop.

Yeah sounds like the LCD cable..

Quoting a recent topic on how to return it for RMA:
 

1. Read this
2. Get the RMA Sheet
3. If you don't live on the american continent, package up your Pandora and send it to:
 
OpenPandora GmbH
Schäffbräustr. 11
85049 Ingolstadt
Germany
 
(use 300 USD if a customs declaration is mandatory)
 
4. If you actually live on the american continent, www.ithic.com could be a cheaper alternative

I live in the Americas and have used ED shop(OpenPandora GmbH) for repairs and had no issues, ithic.com can work, but I'd check if they can handle the repair before hand.

Are the stripes Purple or Green?

If so it's the LCD cable for sure.

Then send it to the one you trust most. EvilDragon/me, Link or Linux-Swat.
