K-x LCD problem aka RiceHigh will love this

jerrymouse · 10-28-2009, 05:36 AM

Ok. I took my K-x out for the first time today. I used a bit of LV, everything seemed fine until...I noticed I have two ugly stripes (green & purple) across the screen in LV and when I browse the images (but not on all of them).

I thought it's sensor problem (overheating), but stripes are still here in LV/browsing and not in images, so I guess my LCD just broke somehow. Anyway, I'm sending it back tomorrow.

Why me

That is too bad, I would be very disapointed as well (mine is coming today). But, seems to be a broken LCD and nothing more...not too much fodder for anyone I doubt (well, you never know on the internets, do you). Hopefully they will do a straight exchange for you!

Thanks. I'm hoping for the same. What is wierd - I didn't noticed the stripes at first. I guess I either didn't see them or it manifested few hundred clicks later.
