My Pandora just got the dreaded blue tint... already emailed openpandorasales about RMAing (the console has been previously opened to adjust the shoulder buttons)

If the LCD cable is bad it will cause the screen to turn pink or blue when you move the hinge. Mine has the same problem.

Basically, it mostly happens to early units since we had to figure out how to properly put the cable in there.

After that, it only happened to a few units so far. Mine is still working after 9 months of daily usage.
We investigated a lot about it (I could tell you exactly what happens).

It shouldn't be a problem anymore with the current units (except a few failing ones) and we already improved the layout of the cable to make it even more robust in the future.

^You sure this is not some sort of gender detection system? Blue screen for boys, pink for girls?

 

[WizardStan]

What if it turns purple then?

Then maybe the owner could never decide if he wanted a Pandora or a Wiz and got both...

The white areas turn blue and the gray areas turn pink. Maybe ED can explain exactly which signals are getting crossed when the cable frays.

Then it's not allowed in the army.

You can get some idea of the nature of the problem if you go in to the gamma tool. Make sure to set the mode in it to 24 bit. Some banding is normal in the 16 bit mode.

It's clearly being squeezed too hard.
