If you are an owner of one of the aforementioned I would like to know if you had a Line of Dead Pixels appear in the color screen of your unit.

I ask because it happened to me. Since this is a portable unit you may have though that it was something you did. It wasn't as I had only carried my in the car 2 to 3 times with NO accidents. Otherwise the unit was in the cradle unused. The "line" just showed up one day.

I googled and saw that MANY people have had this problem. I saw several on ebay and read about the problem in the following places:

Thus, if you have had this problem and your unit is out of warranty there may be hope since this seems like a quality issues and not a user one.

Thanks!

Not a line of dead pixels but I remember having an annoying green pixel in the center of the screen of a V36. It was a cheap PPC back in the day, but it was very glitchy.
