FWIW, I worked in tech support and our client used (exclusively) Gateway computers. One model was particularly prone to have inverter board failures. It took many, many calls to GW to get them to realize that swapping out the screen would not resolve the issue. Users often would receive a laptop with a new display. It would fail after a couple of months and we'd send it back to GW...again. When GW finally started fixing the inverter board, the laptops wouldn't white-screen again.

...the symptoms are similar -- white screen...on the GW units, there were a few vertical blue, green, and pink lines...I would think Nokia would have looked into that by now, but...I don't know -- it took GW about 6-8 months to listen to us.

I was able to get root access without going into r&d mode. I don't know what the advantage be to put it into r&d mode. Haven't read up on r&d mode

The first time was way after I gained root. This most recent one never went into R&D mode and the only thing major was I flashed IT2006 onto it when I first got it.

This is obviously a clear cut case of Nokia censoring your wall paper

At least your screen somewhat works, I get nothing but vertical lines. Think what you have but all over the entire screen

Edit: I'm going to guess that the only fix for you is to send it in for warranty replacement/repair

Would be nice to know if this is some faulty batch made in some period and/or in some factory. If you look under battery, where is it made? maybe the Code below WLAN an BT keys is batch number or something. Or maybe there is some date on the box. Mine is made in Germany and is one of the earliest devices sold and works fine so far (flashed many times including R&D mode switch). Can you post info about faulty ones?

My most recent one is from Estonia and I think my first one was from Estonia also.

Not sure where'd I'd find the date though.

MY 770 was made in Germany but the screen bust after about a week (white screen with vertical grey lines)

Mine has a type number under the battery of SU-18, are all the type numbers the same? Would be helpful to know if there are different types out there.

U.S. Repair/replacement is handled here at our Fort Worth (Alliance) facility, so I'm not sure why anyone would be directed anywhere else. Obviously reverse logistics needs to be improved. We're working on it!

And not meaning to sound trite, but this device is completely new to us in every way. We're still figuring out how to handle it. Bear with us!
