Last week, I took my Clie out of my purse on the way to the supermarket to check my SplashShopper list. To my dismay, the right and left sides of the screen were a weird pinkish yellow, almost a full inch on either side. My BF wondered if my Clie was charging too close to my computer's speakers and the magnet was skewing my screen, so I rearranged my desk setup at home and work.

The pink/yellow became more faint over the last few days, and then I pulled it out of my purse on the way to work this morning and it was all pink/yellow again. This time, I noticed the Clie was very cold. We've had single digit temps for about two weeks and it takes 20+ minutes to get a car to strop throwing cold air--forget heat!

Now I am faced with trying to keep my Clie warm! Has anyone else noticed a similar problem? Do you think it will cause long term damage? Once it gets warm, the pink/yellow subsides, but it is still faintly there and I find it very distracting!

Temperature extremes can have an effect on TFT and LCD screens. Try putting your Clie in an inside pocket in your jacket if you have one or put it into a warm and fluffy glove in your purse. See if that helps.
