I just restarted my Helix and noticed that for a couple seconds, the screen is actually normal. Then it flips again...
No cats or Queen of Hearts. But, I did put in a trouble ticket. My guess is I'll be out a Helix for a month or so. FML.
I just want to point out, I have had basically no issues with this Helix and I got it as soon as it came out. I love this thing.
