Fuzzy screen problem in Nicaragua

[John Watlington]

Daniel,
    That looks like a problem with one of the two column driver ICs.
Those are bonded directly to the glass, and can't be replaced ---
the entire screen should be replaced.

Chalk it up to infant mortality, and let us know if the percentage
of affected units exceeds 0.1%.

Thanks for the well-written problem report,
wad
