    Two weeks ago i bought a Znote 6625Wd All was fine however this week i have been noticing ripples on the screen, when viewng the screen from certain anlges. These reipple are mostly seen when i have a blank white page and they appear from time to time.

    I was wondering wether or not this i s something serious, sincei naever had this problem before. Please can someone tell me what is happening and what to do in case it is possible.

    Thanks

    Are they like uneven backlighting or as if there is some interference to the video (like you can get with a poor TV signal)?

    Do you have access to a monitor? If so, do you get the ripples on that as well? Are you using Zepto's recommended video driver or another version?

    Is there any chance you can take a photo which shows the problem?

    Sounds like the ripples you get when something touches the back of the screen assembly. I found the 6625wd screen ripples very easily when I reviewed it.

    I dont know about ripples, put the pressure "pots" comes very easily, its enough to just shake the screen a bit and they appear in the top of the screen
