Sansa E200 weird line on top of screen.

[phisher]

dial up will not allow me to see most of this forum (h8 you dial up and country area) so i will offer my help whether it be answered or not.
i found a patch known as the m build. it has various little mods to it that i found very useful, it also corrects the blue and red dots and lines that appear at the top of the screen.

the mod also has album art patches to it for those of you who want to install AA GUIs into their sansa.

The real fix for the lines has been fixed in SVN, so Matt's patch can be removed  At one point I had dialup too - that was fun.

Fixed exe (the windows one anyway) seems to be up now. Thanks to whoever built it - it works great, no more screen glitch!

IOU one pie.

Now we have a problem.
the v0.2 sansapatcher causes this glitch, but the new one
v0.3 with the fix breaks booting the OF.

Is there a version that doesn't have either problem?
(where is the source for sansapatcher?  IS it in the big .bz2 file
with the rockbox sources?)

I'm not sure if sansapatcher is included in the source tarball or not - you're better getting it from svn.

Not until it is fixed. For now you can use my bootloader:

and one of my builds:

which contains the 2 patches mentioned in this thread.

The patch is already included in the official build... Please don't recommend unsupported builds to users as an alternative to a proper solution to the problem (using an official bootloader with a working edition of Sansapatcher, as it's not the bootloader that's the problem, I believe).

We really, and I mean *really* do not need people advertising their unsupported builds in various threads. All discussion of them should stay in their forum exclusively.

I am only recommended it because I am not too sure of the state of the current version of the bootloader. We have had many threads of people unable to boot into the OF and have to hunt down and revert back to version 0.2. Judging by the date (Sept. 16 and 22) of the most recent one on download.rockbox.org, it looks like it still haven't been updated. Correct me if I am wrong.

If a working one must be compiled, recommend they do so. If there is no working one, recommend they either use the previous one, or work on solving the problem.

But please, don't advertise your unsupported build, ESPECIALLY without clear disclaimers as to the fact that it's not supported and may not function in the same way as the official version.

There was no reason at all to recommend your build here at all, as it's only the bootloader that's the problem in the first place.

I shall refrain from doing so from now on.

The only reason why I recommended it is because the OP wants something that is working right now and the work around that I am using comes in 2 parts (one for the bootloader and one for the firmware):

And if you LOOK at that task, it's fixed in SVN.
