Thread: nuvi 1490 screen problem

This nuvi was given to me by a friend of mine.
I just want to know did white stripes on screen ([Only registered and activated users can see links. ]) are software or hardware problem?
Should I look for a good screen from a second hand nuvi or can solve problem elsewise?
All I know about the unit is that it have not been in use for 2 or 3 years.
No visible signs of accidents.
