Howd you get a new one ? You in the states on att ?I had this showing up on my 1520, about an inch down from the top, just right of center.
Sounds about like the spot where yours is showing up? If so get it replaced...as it seems to be an issue occurring with some units. I just had to replace my 32GB RM-940 unit due to this showing up.
I'm hoping the replacement doesn't show this since it took almost 3 weeks last time before it became apparent.
