Out of nowhere, when I opened the laptop during the day there where colored/black stripes/bands over a part of the screen. Nothing special happened to the laptop in the mean time, no impacts or flexing.
The symptoms changed over time. The left side showed weird artifacts and now seems to have a horizontal black line every other line. The right side is now almost completely black except for some subtle dark blue lines.
The issue is also visible in the grub screen and a restart didn’t help so I’m pretty sure it’s a hardware issue.
Not quite as bad, but I got my 11th Gen Framework last Monday. Spent a couple of days setting up and on the Wednesday morning - the first day I properly used it for work - I realised it had a one pixel height horizontal line running the width of the display, and a small blue line on the right hand side. I also tried reseating the cable and removing the bezel. Support were great and after two days back and forth with some troubleshooting and some images they shipped out a replacement which I fitted today and works great. The only reason for the back and forth was because I’m not in the same timezone as the support team.
However, like you my laptop had no physical stresses. It was on my desk and the only physical movement was typing on the keyboard and opening the lid.
I cannot fault support - but I’m concerned as to the resiliance of the screen.
