My 2 years old N800 recently shows the following problem:

After the screens wakes up from screen saver/sleep mode, it will jitter vertically and very slightly (about 1 mm only) for about 1-3 minutes. After that, the screen is stable again for the rest of the surfing session.

Has anyone encountered this? My warranty is over now and I wonder if this is a sign of an early death?

It may be a sign that the screen is about to fail. Do a search on screens that rolls vertically.

Early death? Many n800's screens fail after one year, so consider yourself lucky if it lasted two.

mines in its 15th month, been used constantly for around 10. touch wood its good, besides having to re-flash it once

i am having problems with predictive input, having to reset it once, but don't want to again, as it messes settings up.
