Sony DPF-D70 Problems

As you might previously remember, I did a blog about the new Sony DPF-D70 digital frame. I purchased the unit less than 10 days ago and needless to say, I was very shocked when I turned it on today and saw this:

As you can tell, the only thing this unit was projecting are horizontal and vertical lines. Here is a short video of the digital frame:

I thought it was a fluke so I used the remote control to change it to the next few images, but the it was to no avail. Next, I turned off the unit and turned it back off but I had no luck there either. My last course of action was to delete all of the images from the digital frame. I then used my laptop to transfer the images back to the digital frame but the results were exactly same.

I finally gave up and decided to return it and exchange it at Best Buy. Since I still had the original receipt, I had no difficulty in exchanging it. I am really hoping that the original digital frame is only a small anomaly and not a representation of all the Sony DPF-D70. I'll keep you updated if I run into the same or any other problems with the exchanged unit.
