hey everyone,
i am new to thsi board. I have an ipaq 3630 which i got in december of 2000. so as far as i knwo it is out of its warranty period. about 3 or 4 months ago, the screen stopped working. actually it works but it is doing something realy weird.
it seems to be totally random but what happens is after a minute or so of use, the screen will rapidly jump to half its normal width and then back to normal. then it will invert horizontally sometimes, and once it gets going it jus gets all whacked out so all i see is a bunch of vertical lines.
so now my dilemma is to get it repaired or to just buy another one on ebay. it really kind of ticks me off because it is not really that old and i was always very protective of it.
the thing is, how do i go about getting it repaired and how much will it cost?
is this a common problem? is there any quick fix i can do myself?
please, any advice woudl be greatly appreciated.
oh and if it matters, i purchased the pocketpc 2002 os when it came out and installed it, so it is running pocketPC 2002 OS.
