Screen Colors Distorted

Anyone having issues with their X5 screen distorting the colors?? Mine acts up a few times a day. If I give it a quick shot to the side, the screen goes back to normal. Sometimes it takes longer. Reboots do not help. The screen is not necessarily distorted, but the colors wash out and it goes to a yellow color and you cannot read the icons.

Help!!!!!

Sounds like the LCD is on it's way out.. Well at least the LCD Controller.. Same stuff happened to my Palm III before I just threw the whole thing out. it was flash on and off.

The only other thing that may cause this is the LCD cable may be lose
