I using my Xoom earlier today and after a while I noticed that the display looked a bit strange. On closer inspection/further use, there is *massive* ghosting/burn in (I think).
If I turn the screen off/on, I can actually see through the lockscreen to the homescreen underneath. When I unlock it I can see previous apps burned in there.
If I shut it down and reboot, I can see the homescreen through the bootscreen (which should be completely black excepting the red Moto logo and the ripple effect).
I've only had it for about a month and mostly use it for browsing the web/facebook and reading comics. I could understand gradual burn-in if I was using a certain app really heavily but that isn't the case here. It seems to have gone from fine to completely f**ked in the space of about half an hour.
I guess my question is, is there any chance it's software based and a factory reset will help or do I go back to where I got it and try to get it repaired/replaced under warranty? And if I do take it back, is the fact that I rooted going to cause problems?

After a factory reset (which did nothing) I used OTA RootKeeper to try and unroot before sending it to Motorola (turns out it's only a temp unroot), then used Titanium Backup to restore apps + data and the display returned to normal as suddenly as it broke 0_o
I have no idea what caused the problem and no idea what fixed it but it seems fine now 0_o
