Hey guys,
Thought I would post a message outlining an issue which developed on my N95 this morning to see if anyone else has had the same problem.
I did the firmware upgrade to version 20 a few days ago. No problems. Loaded some new apps, new games. No problems. Then all of a sudden this morning while playing a game (MTV Crib game) the screen started "rolling" to the right, changing colour and going blank every now and again. At first I assumed it was the game so I exited it. Still problem persisted whenever I pressed the directional keys to scroll. I then thought rebooting my phone may help but when it retarted the phone it continued blanking out when I pressed the "arrow" keys or changing colours (purple, blue, orange etc), every so often the screen would also "shift" right.
I searched online and saw this same problem mentioned elsewhere but with no definitive solutions provided. Some said it may be the LCD (but it is not permanently blank), some said the ribbon connecting the LCD, some said moisture damage (not much chance as my phone has been treated like a princess!!), some even said firmware may cause it (but it was fine for a few days after).
It has been real hot in Durban the last few days and I am hoping the heat/humidity is not causing these LCD problems....
Anyway I eventually gave up trying to resolve it myself and took the phone to my SP in Westville. Awaiting feedback.....
If someone else has found a solution or had this problem let me know. I hope it is not a generic problem with the N95 screen that we are going to see appearing....
