Screen flickering when pressing 5 key

[blyant]

I have had my pandora for about a week now, but yesterday the screen started acting weird.


When I pressed the D-key the screen started flickering, but it stopped after a while.


Now when I press the 5-key it happens every time.


I tried to take a picture of it:

Is this something to worry about?

Lookie thar. That's probably where the LCD cable is placed, or pressing down on the five affects the lcd socket thing (if it's not soldered directly to the board, which would be dumb.


Sorry, I couldn't tell you if it's a hazard to the Pandora. I'm sure that this sort of fault is warrantied if you want to return it.

Argh! Now it flickers almost constantly when im not pressing anything


My minimenu now looks like this:

Is there anything I can try before returning it?

Sounds like a bad cable, and barring you want to open 'er up and take a soldering iron to it, I doubt there's anything you can do.
