I have my PRS-505 for about 5 years now and I was very content with it. A few days back when I opened it I was surprised to see the screen was half shifted towards left and the other half is like the USB connection but blurry and dirty like in the image below.

Because I suspected software malfunction, I tried hard-reset but it didn't solve anything. Today I rewrote the firmware with the 1.1 version from SONY website using the trick specified here to force the update on the same version. It is still the same. I can only view half the screen. Any idea on how can I fix this problem is appreciated.
I know it served me well for a long time and it might be a sign that I need a new one but I really like the 505 and I don't want anything new for the moment. Thank you.
