Switch OLED weird Horizontal green line.

[Consoledestroyer]

Hello, today I noticed that something appears on my screen. There is a green horizontal line out of nowhere. I am sure there was not something like that a day before. The console did not fall, I did not break it, smash or something. I used it carefully. I saw JerryRigEverything where he pushed Oled to it’s limits and nothing similar happened. I checked the screen cable and tried to reconnect it, it did not help. I have installed a picofly a couple weeks ago but everything was fine until now. I tried to disconnect the chip by disconnecting the cpu tape from chip. It booted into OFW but the line was still there. I will be grateful for every response.

Did you try to replace the screen?

I have not. I think that would be risky, and I do not have another screen to check it.

I mean it can be one of those lines that feed the screen. Do you have a green screen even in Hekate?

Check for damage on the LCD ribbon cable.

I have not, and I don’t see it to be available. I can say that the line looks weird, like blurry.

I have been checked it and didn’t see anything obvious. Tried disconnect and connect against and clean using isopropyl alcohol. Didn’t help.

I am pretty sure that nothing like drop or smash didn’t happen to console so that is really weird. What should I see if the ribbon cable is damaged, how to know that?

It happened to me too, after a firmware upgrade. Did you manage to find a solution?

Unfortunately no. It steel shows itself on every screen. Does not matter if it is atmosphere or OFW or runscreen. It is everywhere. Does it look like exactly your problem?

It does look exactly as your problem, except it is on a different height.
It appeared from one day to the other, it is visible on every screen except the pure black one.
Not sure if it is a green line problem. It looks like the brightness is higher on that single pixel line.
Tried to fix it with OLED burn in videos, turn off and rest the unit, etc. Unfortunately nothing helped.
I guess we will have to get used to it if we don't want to replace the screen.

I had the problem for something like 3 weeks to month. Now it has gone. I don’t know what’s going on. I will let you know if it come back. But fingers crossed it won’t.

Nice, mine is still there, but looks like there is hope on the horizon
Did you use yours daily, before it disappeared?

Anyone have any new information regarding this? I’m suffering from the exact same issue and haven’t found any posts about it besides this one. The line is faint but persists even through the “grayscale” option in the system settings.
