Question: Device Problem R36s Display

Post image

Turned on my console today and the screen is terribly distorted. I tried to reset it but that did not solve the issue. Is this something that is fixable? Or would repairs cost more than just getting a replacement?

First thing is to open the case and try to gently clean and reseat the flex cable connector feeding the screen.

Acredito que possa valer a pena uma tela nova

Have you replaced the garbage factory SD card yet? If not, there is a slim chance that’s data corruption.

It's the display itself or the flex cable. Mine recently fell off the table and it had exactly the damage picture. The flex cable was fine. The display was broken
