Display Issues

Post by HooterMan »

Hi all,

I've had my Joggler for about 18 months and have lurked various forums picking up hints and tips. I have, however, encountered a problem! Just over a year ago I successfully installed an early version of Unbuntu onto an external drive and was able to boot the Joggler from this. Unfortunately this seemed to be the extent of my "programming" capabilities and I decided to revert back to the original factory OS. Ever since then my display has been blurry and the blurriness is caused by parallel vertical lines about 1mm apart all of the way across the display and some image displacement caused by (or in addition to this). I thought the update to the new Open Peak OS would rectify matters but the display has remained exactly the same.

I was wondering if anyone else has had or has this problem, if anyone knows of a fix or if this is a hardware error with my display?

FYI, the primary NTP server is listed as ntp.unbuntu.com and the secondary NTP server as pool.ntp.org


Many thanks in advance

Due to the lack of replies I'm guessing that this is probably a hardware issue then. Might have to consign the Joggler to the bin!

Have you had it to bits just to check the inside out, might be just a loose cable or something
:-)
Happy Joggling

Hi there,

I'm not confident enough to take it to bits yet. I have successfully managed to reflash it and install PnPIII on it - which is absolutely awesome!

Unfortunately the display issues remain. I've taken a couple of pics which might help diagnosis??!?!


Many, many thanks in advance!!!

Just a quick update. I opened her up this morning and had a peek inside. There didn't seem to be anything obviously wrong with any of the lead connections. Once back together and powered up the display issues are still present. Maybe it's something I'll just have to live with!


Cheers,
