LCD burn in (image persistence)

[Mic159]

Hey all,
I am having troubles with the LCD on my touch diamond, i have had it for quite a while now.
In January this year, I started to notice that the soft button bar at the bottom of the screen was flickering, just the soft bar. I would turn off the screen for about half a day and it would go away, then it would happen again in a few days.
This happened for a few weeks, then it just stopped.

Now its back again, where I can see "Now Playing" faintly, as well as what is actually there ("Contacts"), but i don't have WMP open. and the whole bar flickers slightly. i just have to turn the screen of for a minute and it dissapears.
I only had WMP open for about 5 minutes..

I have the same issue. Here's what I did to (temporarily, I assume) fix the problem.

I made a white picture in MS Paint that was 640x480 pixels and put it on my phone, then set the screen to maximum brightness and left the screen on with that picture full screen. It got rid of the burnt in image.

I think the problem I had is that in my power settings, I had it to where the screen never turns off when plugged in. If I got a text message or e-mail after I plugged it in and went to bed, the screen would turn on and never turn off until morning. I've changed my power settings so even when plugged in, it doesn't stay on for more than a minute. I hope that fixes it.

I'm experiencing the same problem as well.. it come and goes and I've somehow learnt to ignore it. So far it just disappears after a few hours of use.

Hey its thr with many people, A quick remedy. Increase the brightness level to max....wait fr a few seconds thn put it back to normal. Wont prevent it permanently...but yes will hold it off for a while

Happens to my Diamond too. I am now trying different versions of HSPL to see if the problem is related to it.
