Orange Pixel Mesh

Post by 1magus »

I have a fully working Sega Nomad except on the screen when it is turned on it shows this small orange pixel mesh of lines all over the place across a part of the screen, roughly the size of Sonic. Any ideas?

Screen might be broken there, cracked along the sides perhaps?

All I know is a long time ago I dropped it on carpet ( Poorly Designed huh? ) and no cracks I checked.

I have the same thing. On mine it looks like someone scribbled with an orange marker over some of the screen.

Don't know much about dead pixels, but since they are orange maybe they are just "stuck" pixels but that doesnt help me any since I wouldn't know how to fix that either haha

From what I hear its pretty tough to switch screens on them, even if you could find a spare one. Cheaper just to get a new one anyways.
