Treo 750 display driver problem?

[rjackets]

I have a treo 750. Its used and I don't know what the guy before me tried to do with it, but it looks like all he did was install the official WM5 to WM6 update. My problem now (and part of the reason he sold it) is that there seems to be some serious screen corruption. I'm inclined to think there may be a driver issue? I cant even see the bootscreen. All I can see are a couple of vertical and horizontal bars (mostly around the top) with a multicolor spectrum. The rest of the screen is blank. Hard-reset, soft-reset, neither works to fix it. Oddly, if I access the device through MyMobiler and regedit/change to font to something that it hasn't used before (ex. calibri, arial) it seems to bring it back to life... still no boot screen, but the os will work fine. If I put it in standby mode and then try and bring it back on, I'm back to the corrupt screen. At the moment I've turned off the power-idle feature and just let it go to backlight off while leaving the device on all the time, but I cant leave it like that forever. Any thoughts? Am I able to update the display driver or something?

PS. Display works on my PC through MyMobiler with no problem.

Thanks in advance.

I am having the exact same problem. The only way to avoid the display corruption seems, like you said, to avoid putting the phone in standby mode... but then leaving it like that all day will drain the battery very fast, obviously.

I'm curious as to what the cause is. My phone is out of warranty already. Purchased summer 2007.

rjackets, have you done anything since your post?

no, it's like all the 1st vertical pixels get extended to the right end and the lines keep flashing, i kind find my battery atm but it looks something like this texture, just with pixels:
