I have a brand spanking new IVDx here, and with no effort at all I can move the screen from side to side about 1/16th of an inch inside the case. Is this a common problem?

wondering...

For what it's worth, mine moves also, but not 1/16". I think it's normal.

Hey all,

I'm still waiting for my IVD,
Someone please tell me this NOT the norm,
I don't know how I feel about any slop in a electroic anything that cost that much.

Mine does not move at all. That sounds like a pretty annoying problem, and I think there would be more posts about it if it were common.

My screen slides around, too - BVD - and it does concern me - It is a solid unit, with good fit and finish EXCEPT the screen sliding deal. I am going to call CS at handspring and see what the deal is - we all do have a year warranty against stuff like this - I may take them up on that. I love the unit, and am completely sold on Visors, but I did spend almost $300...

I have a BVD and my screen is rock solid. No movement at all. I would certainly call HS about that. Doesn't the movement disrupt your handwriting recognition?

Also a BVD and no screen movement at all. If fact the unit is as solid as can be. In fact, more so than the Palm IIIx I saw at compusa

My screen is loose also.
It doesn't move side to side but the top left hand corner can be pushed in a little. It also moves if I shake it.

I've noticed this on mine also-top right corner mostly. I know what the issue is and how to fix it but will wait to peak to HS first on a replacement before I go the 'unauthorized' but effective route :-)

I've also noticed that the top-right corner of my Visor Deluxe screen can be pushed in a little bit. I'm not sure I want to ask for a replacement though, since *this* Visor is a replacement itself (albeit replaced due to the DRAM problem. Could you perhaps discretely email me regarding the 'unauthorized' solution to this?

My screen isn't loose, but there is a one-pixel offset on the left (when I have backlighting on, I see this vertical line along the left). I'm living with it.

To be honest, I think a loose screen COULD be an advantage...a bit more play in the event of a fall. Just a theory, mind you...

Homer - I have the loose screenn, just noticed it last night when I was shaking my hands and holding my Visor. But it is so small of a movement, I could care less.

But! I have the same issue you have with the pixels being off. When I use the backlight, I can see a line down the left side of the screen. I have just lived with it for fear of getting a refurb. I thought I was the only one.
