SP screen not working!

ewanb — Thu, 08 May 2014 19:57:34 GMT

So the screen on my SP has stopped working, I can hear some tones and managed to get a camera noise to happen but I can't get the display to work. When I press the on/off button the screen goes from black to slightly light than black, as if it's trying to display, but the most that happens is a very think blue line across the screen.

No idea whats wrong with it, or what to do about it! Does it need the display repaired?

Force shutdown:

Try to turn it on.

Thanks, I tried it and it switched off but when I switched it on again I just got the same line across the screen. I think the display is damaged, perhaps a connection is loose or something.

Im in Edinbugh (UK) so not sure that's possible, I have a repair appointment at a Carphone Warehouse there on Saturday so hopefully it's nothing too serious!
