Which Screen Problems Happen When?

[Minkoff]

There've been alot of different screen problems, it seems. As I'm expecting my unit any day now, I'd just like to know which firmware versions have which problems, and which problems are hardware faults. Has anybody written a FAQ or something?

EDIT: Exactly today or tomorrow, actually. It's been 11 days.

According to another thread the problem where the screen darkens when you change from one icon to the next is a hardware issue (part of the recall). The recall currently applies to units with a V001 serial below about 500.

A lot of people have mentioned some flickering on the startup screen or the mp3 player (even on V102 serials), can anybody confirm if this is a hardware or firmware issue? Are V100, 101 and 102 serials definately OK as far as hardware issues go?

the flickering is named to be a software/lcd timeing issue, it isnt there in raw hardware mode.

Vimacs:You are referring to the scanlines that cause the screen to flicker or the brightness flickering when moving in the menus?
