Well, after looking at the prices for an IPAQ 1940 replacement display... Well, I think I just hope I can somehow get some money for the 3000 back (I own it for 3 weeks or so, so I try to get the money back from the ebay guy, or I sell it as broken) and buy a 3500 or 7000.

Can anyone confirm that the "Display dead" failure is not present in the 3500 as on the 3000? Or are there the same problems?
