Well, I'm bummed. I just received a used, but nice TH55/E that I purchased from a private seller. I got it home, plugged the AC adapter in and the screen comes up white, with a flickering pattern, (similar to what your TV looks like if the antenna cable isn't plugged in properly.)
Anyone have any words of advice, or is this machine damaged? I e-mailed the seller and told him that I'd give it a good charge to see if anything changed by morning, but I suspect that it'll be the same. Darn...
I have to admit that incidents like this make me a little fearful of spending a lot of money on a used unit like this Clie, since PDA's do have a finite lifespan. I suspect that this problem would probably NOT be covered under warranty at this point. One could easily get stuck with a $450 paperweight. If I'm going to spend that much money, maybe it would be best to go with a different company just get a new unit.
Hmm...we'll see what happens.
