I have the Coby Kyros 7015A tablet for about 2 weeks now. I rooted it right after I got it. It worked great up until today. I turned it on today and the screen was negative in color. Everything that should be black is white and everything that should be white is black. Here is some pics:

The rest of the system works perfectly just the screen is messed up. I have tried reseting it and it didnt help. The only thing left I know to do is reset it to factory defaults but I dont know how to do that. Has anyone heard of this type of thing happening? Someone help please.

Contact COBY have that tablet either repaired or replace it. Or swap out the panel for a new one. Cheaper to give you a new tablet though.

Wow. I am still kind of new, but never heard about this happening, even after reading most of this forum. I am not sure how to fix this, it may be an option in the launcher or system I do not know about, that u might have accidentally changed. If u have clockworkmod installed, if I was you i would try to backup to that, (if u had a backup saved) if not try to fully reset to standard settings, and start from scratch, if u feel u have nothing to lose tho. If u will lose something important u have on there, try to play with the settings and figure out if it is a changeable option or not. I know with the new iPod touches, it is possible to change the screen so it only is negative, i have not heard of this option for android, if I figure it out i will let u kno

Panels can go back in laptops and netbooks just as well with tablets. Could be a loose connection inside but everything solider. Parts to go bad in shipping. Still you can tray update to see if it goes way but the images looked washed out.

If it is still under warranty (depends on ur warranty) u probably should send it back. It would be worth it for them to fix ur tablet, or even better, send u a brand new one. Well whatever your choice is, hopefully it all works out for u.

I do not know how to remove that stuff since i have never rooted yet. Try to unroot from z4root app if that is what u used to root in the first place.

Ok I finally got everything off and back to factory. The only way I could get it all off is to apply the update.zip and then do a factory reset. Ok soI am going to send it back and see what happens. I bought it off ebay brand new and the seller does offer a 30 day warranty so lets hope it all works out. I will let you guys know how I make out.

Thanks for all the help everybody.
