Nintendo-DS - LCD "scrambles" at high backlight
Nintendo DS-Lite working perfectly before...
Dropped from low height (fell off a bed) was in a padded case but still cracked glass over lower LCD (very fragile). Otherwise appeared to work OK, but quickly developed an odd sympton: Lower LCD will "scramble" - goes to black & white and shows vertical lines which move around with the video. Odd thing is, at low backlight setting (1 of 4) LCD is fine, works at 2, at 3 it "scrambles" and stays that way until it is reduced to 1 again, where it *usually* sorts itself out. (Once gone, returning to 2 does not clear it). Although this happened at the time of the drop, it does not appear to be physical - tap on the unit, screen, bottom, sides, anywhere at low LCD setting and it stays fine with not a flicker. Hold it rock steady and raise LCD setting and it will die. "feels" like a power problem - higher backlight setting sapping a power supply - but remainder of unit (including upper screen) continue to function with no visible effects, not even a flicker) - Lack of physical response would tend to rule out a bad connection induced by the fall .... Any ideas? Known issues with this symptom? Dave -- dave06a@ Low-cost firmware development tools: www.dunfield.com dunfield.
