LCD problem - black lines

[erviins]

Hi,

One day my mp3/mp4 player`s lcd display started to look like this:



Is there possibility to somehow solve this?

erviins , try extracting, repairing, then reflash the firmware file back into your player.

Do not try to flash in someone else's firmware into your player as it would likely cause your player to brick.

Thanks, i tried, but it dind`t solve problem .
It looks like hardware problem, not software.

Maybe somebody knows, why such dark black lines can appear? what could be wrong with lcd?

erviins , we had a similar case like your problem a few months back. Are you having winter currently in your country?

It seems that the cold weather caused the screen to be unlit (dark). As basically for an lcd screen to light up, the crystals need to become liquid-form. To do so, requires heat coming from the current.
So, during the warmer months, it is able to heat up properly. But during winter months, it's not able to heat up properly, thus remains unlit.

Try keeping your player out of the cold. Either place it near where the radiator is, or in a pocket where it is warm. Then see if the problem still occurs.
