A buddy of mine just got a dead dot on his low play Woverine.

Quoted from fattrain:

Both my ACDC & XMen had a dimly lit "always on" line through them vertically in different spots (normally towards the far sides of the screen). JJ / Gexchange hooked me up with a replacement super quickly and I mailed the old ones back in the same boxes.

Thanks to this thread I went down to the cave and actually checked my AC/DC and Xmen LE in the diagnostic screen. My Xmen has the same dimly lit vertical lines in a couple of spots. Oh well...I did'nt notice it before so I guess it does not matter. They really are barely noticeable on mine. But if I had noticed it while the warranty was still on I certainly would have gotten a replacement.

Quoted from schudel5:

Searching for 788BS reveals these 8x8 red LED modles for a couple bucks each. Might need to pick a few up to have to replace any bad ones down the road.
This is for (10) shipped from China:

Based on the poll (unscientific), seems like about a 50% failure rate, at this point. I could understand issues at around the 5 year mark, but most seem to be from brand new to a few months. Not good.

Great minds think alike....

Thanks for the info on those replacement cubes. My buddy Paul was happy to hear that we will be able to fix his with minimal costs.
