| Wikiwide | One of Nokia N900s has a very strange display problem: http://sveta.uk.to:2018/~oksana/20191014_004.jpg | 12:45 |
|---|---|---|
| Wikiwide | I think it's a software problem, not hardware, because in welcome wizard (set date, time and everything) the buttons were displayed in duplicate (one row on top, one on bottom of display). | 12:46 |
| KotCzarny | you have the same effect here | 12:46 |
| KotCzarny | part of the top is displayed at the bottom | 12:47 |
| Wikiwide | Does it sound like it needs a reflash? And how do I double-check that there are no files in need of rescue? | 12:47 |
| KotCzarny | i bet on hw problem | 12:47 |
| KotCzarny | you can quickly check by transplanting whole display part from the working one | 12:47 |
| KotCzarny | it's a quick check (only 4 screws to remove) | 12:48 |
| Wikiwide | So it's possible for hardware problem to cause such a move of row of buttons in the middle of screen to "one row on top, one on bottom"? | 12:48 |
| Wikiwide | Will check later. It's night here. I have spare LCD, but I don't expect to have a spare flex ribbon. | 12:49 |
| KotCzarny | you can confirm by checking with working display | 12:49 |
| KotCzarny | do you have another n900? | 12:49 |
| KotCzarny | would be easier than transplanting flex between displays | 12:49 |
| Wikiwide | Yes, but I am thinking of how to keep number of working n900s as high as possible. | 12:49 |
| KotCzarny | it would be just for a test | 12:50 |
| KotCzarny | not a permanent move | 12:50 |
| KotCzarny | you would know what path to pursue then | 12:50 |
| Wikiwide | Even if the one with weird display issue is going to be delegated to "tiny web server" usage, due to lack of cellular connectivity. | 12:51 |
| Wikiwide | Good night. Thank you! | 12:51 |
| Maxdamantus | Wikiwide: maybe try booting something like uboot over USB, since that should involve rendering to the display without relying on any software currently on the device. | 12:52 |
| Maxdamantus | or the rescueOS. | 12:52 |
| KotCzarny | when i dropped the samsung phone it had similar effect of doubled screen | 12:52 |
| KotCzarny | just in different pattern (every 2-3rd row) | 12:52 |
| Maxdamantus | Yeah, I've certainly had that sort of effect on LCD displays due to hardware issues (not on N900). | 12:53 |

| sixwheeledbeast | Looks like main flex to me | 23:01 |
| sixwheeledbeast | ~fixribbon | 23:01 |
| infobot | extra, extra, read all about it, fixribbon is http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1324171#post1324171 | 23:01 |
