Hi,

here's an interesting one.

A friend of mine also has an n800. About a month ago he noticed that the internal sd card doesn't get mounted. After a bit of troubleshooting we saw that the magnet is missing. We searched a bit, looked inside as much as possible and decided that it must have fallen when he changed cards. So we replaced it with a small bit of flexible fridge magnet. A few days ago his tablet started showing small lines on the screen. Today the lines were pretty intense and also some doubled image apeared. (ghosting) tried to take a picture but couldn't.

After close inspection we saw that the original magnet was attached (magnetic) to the yellow capacitor in the picture (picture is from toughtfix hope it's ok)

We managed to remove it but the image is still wrong. Is it possible that the cap. got magnetized and so the image is wrong? Will it go away? Is this capacitor even linked to the lcd or is this just a coincidence? If yes is there a way to demagnetize it or we have to solder a new one in place? I remember that I could degauss old crt monitors by placing them very close to newer crt's that had the degauss function built in... Could it help?

Thank you
