No outside force affected it... it was just sitting in a box on the shelf... but when I opened the box and powered it up again, those terrible lines in the screen. It was so disheartening I never turned the thing back on again. My nephews screen got so messed up it was completely unplayable... there were several wide bands of missing pixels through the middle of the screen. Seems like a pretty widespread screen failure to me... but I haven't seen any facts or figures on the screen-failure rate. Yeah, mine’s screen got messed up while it was in storage for a few months.

It was like widescreen, but on the sides. Oh, and it sucked. The screen, however, had a tendency to start losing entire lines along the sides late in life. It was like widescreen, but on the sides.
