- The original posting questioning reliability specifically mentioned
- screens, I seem to remember. Apart from the dead pixel problem,
- there's also the apparently common problem of the display going weird
- because of some loose connection -- perhaps that accounts for a large
- proportion of the cited engineer's sightings? My 140 has been in
- twice to have the display seen to, in the space of six weeks.
-
- Anyone know if the new models are also susceptible to this problem?
