The Pandora is known to have a number of hardware defects that affect some units. This page attempts to list all the known ones as well as give fixes where possible.
- The nubs had some problems on early units
- The first 3000 units are susceptible to the Purple Tint of Death, caused by faulty LCD cables
- If your shoulder buttons don't click, here's how to fix it
- If your battery cover doesn't click to a close all the way in, you can use a nail file to press in a little bit of plastic that may be preventing it from closing.
- There may be an almost unnoticeable gap in the plastic on the bottom-middle of your screen on some Pandoras. If you really need to fix it, try this, but it's risky.
- The hinge doesn't close fully; there is a very slight space left on the left-hand side. This is common to all units (?) and cannot be fixed.
