Pixel problem

[Guest mescalino]

Hi everyone

First of all i would like to say that this forum was able to solve more or less every problem i encountered with my devices and i thank you people for sharing your knowledge for free.

In attached image you can see my pocket pc which has been working good unitll this problem appeared. I can still use it but it's a bit anoying. The warranty has passed so i'm stuck with it which also means that i could open it if nessesary. is there anything i can do?

only thing you can do it get yourself a replacement screen.. still quite alot of money though :/

[Guest mescalino]

too bad..

i guess i'll just have to sell it then for half of the money i spent on it :x

thanks for your reply

Hello,

what make / model is the PPC? There are cyclic display programs that can be used to try to free any stuck pixels but the fact they are in a line would point to me to a ribbon cable problem. Have you tried diss-assembly and re-seating the cable?
