Internal overheating shatters LCD on Dell Streak 7

I really would have preferred to be able to choose more than one option. I probably would have gone with the first option as well. This is the first I have heard of this issue and I would think it would have been reported if it was more widespread. I certainly hope that you are able to get a new, functioning Streak.

 

Considering the DS7 has been out a long time and this has not been some reported widespread issue, I think you're just cursed.

 

yeah there has to be some external influence that is causing this. tempature of your house, elevation.

the fact that this only happening to you is really suspicious.

heres my advice, as soon as you get the new one turn it on and sign into your google account. then download these apps:

https://market.android.com/details?...bletcpuusagesmonitorfree&feature=related_apps

https://market.android.com/details?id=net.maicas.android.batterys&hl=en

this is tablet cpu usage monitor and will show you how much of your cpu is being used. the second one is a bettery widget. once you have the battery widget installed go to the app menu click on it and change the, "show on tap" to degrees Fahrenheit. i have a feeling that that is not the problem because there is no way in hell that you have gotten what, 5 or more and the same issue keeps happening.

after you have theses things installed DO NOT PUT THE DAMN THING DOWN UNTIL IT BREAKS OR THE BATTERY DIES
keep checking those widgets about every 5 minutes. this is going to seem tedious but really you need to isolate the problem.

please tell me how this goes and PM me if it does break. also do not plug it in!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

you will not put this next one down. also i would like you to set up a video camer looking stright down at the screen and have it recording from the moment you take it out of the box. i had an idea but i need to see how it is breaking. if you can do that it would be great otherwise i want still pictures asap.

shame Toshiba doesn't have a 7" thrive. I'm still contemplating getting the 8" archos and selling my ds7.

 

I just read this , and I have to say, this is one of the most bizarre things I have ever read!! Did you ever get a working one? If not, I would call the Ghost Hunters team out to your house!! I am also surprised Dell was willing to send you this many replacement units. One of the other folks that posted asked you to setup a video camera and record your streak. I would have loved to have seen that video!!

 

I have one coming from Dell. I hope I do not suffer the same fate because if it can happen, it will happen to me...

 

Ok, I live in Colorado, at 4700'. I've lived at 8000' for three months, and even used my tablet at 14,000'. Nothing says fun like watching Archer and being that high up. I shattered the glass on my Dell Streak but I dropped it from 7'. I think you're cursed, maybe you need a Nook Color?
