Heh. the classical blue lines. Has been mentioned on this list, and
discussed about once or twice a year since the ti83 non-plus days.
Maybe we should write an FAQ for this list.
If you know how to program, you recreate it by sending a certain command to
the lcd driver, that put it into an undocumented "test mode" (undocumented
in the way that the manufacturer of the lcd driver says nothing more about
it then "test mode, do not use")

This is new news though!
First time I have heard anyone claim damaged lcd due to BLODs. Have you
done a lot of experimenting with them?
Others that have experimented a lot with them has claimed that it hasn't
hurt their lcd at all.
I have always suspected that it is harmful to the lcd.
I guess its hard to prove or disprove. (anyone want to give me a hundred
brand new ti83s or so, so I could do a scientific test on this? :)
