Hi there,
So I noted that when leaving my system to charge (while running) that the screen turned off to save power. When I pressed a key for it to turn on again, I noted it had some strange halo/burn in around the edge of it. Has anyone else experienced this before?
Is the only way to obtain a replacement screen, thermal pads, or parts simply to buy a new unit? Or will these parts be released to the store eventually?
i also had this happen to me. I left my uConsole sitting on a the arm of a chair and the back got hot. After I picked it up and the back cooled off, the halo went away. I use to have the same problem withe my Pinebook Pro before I added active cooling to it. I havenât had it happen again, I make sure nothing sits up against the back.
I have just noticed the same on my unit. Left it on the sofa for an hour while I was accessing it via ssh and when I turned the screen back on, it had that halo.

My original thought on why this was happening was perhaps my thermal pad. Initially when I installed the cover, the pad was so thick that I had to squish the two halfâs together to close the case. But because I had to open the unit so many times, it had already âform-factoredâ itâs way around the chip as well as spread out to equal the height of the case. So my assumption was, now it might be over-heating because it is no longer making a solid connection and is only tenuously touching the back cover?
So random question: Does anyone know where you can find thermal pads which are as thick as the original that comes with the uConsole? The thickest pads I could find are perhaps these?
I got the halo, but restarting fixed it. Think its a âscreensaverâ artifact.
Hi! In my case, I cut the half of thickness of the pad to put in and close the back. my unit itâs not very warm (35 to 45*C). When I dismount the back, I âjustâ reform the pad with my fingers⌠and itâs work!
