[VU+ Duo2] Yellow indicator on lcd screen

[potterson]

I have notice a yellow coloured quadrant on the top left of my lcd screen. The last couple of times I have seen this I also had the green flashing light on the info bar and a flashing indicator on the vfd display which I believe indicates there is a software update available . After doing an update all these reset. However this time only the yellow indicator on the lcd screen is showing and no software update is available so I don't know what this is telling me. I hope someone cane explain this as I have searched the forum and cannot find any mention of this. Thanks in advance.

I have never been able to get rid of that ugly yellow spot.

 

[danivtec]

Are you recording anything when this is displayed?

I don't get this on my duo 2, only a red spot on the right when recording.

 

[Rob van der Does]

The yellow dot is always there; no relation with recording or streaming.

Odd, I dont get it on mine.

Attached is my lcd4linux config file + screenshot if anyone with the problem wants to test.

I am not recording when this happens...As I said the first couple of times it appeared I did the software update and it disappeared along with the green light and flashing symbol on the vfd. Guess we will just have to ignore it . thank you all for your input.

Yes, I've had this yellow 'dog ear' on the lcd display. I occurred after I had been playing with the layout of the various lcd displays... I then played some more, reducing potential overlaps and positioning more conservatively within the boundaries of the lcd... and the problem has not recurred. I didn't bother anyone with the issue as I was able to get around it. Either revert your display layouts or play around some more. Then I think you may need to power cycle to clear the lcd of this blight.

Thanks again everyone for your input this explains why it goes away after a software update as the image would be restarted.

Wish you all a great XMAS and NEW YEAR.

Just go to LCD4 menu and press yellow button to restart display to remove yellow blob. Who would have thought ???

Yea, but it'll come back unless you get the configuration edited to something that doesn't overlap (as per my previous post). Well, that is what I've experienced.

There is a checkbox in LCD4Linux Global Settings called "Show Crash Corner". Turning this off gets rid of the yellow blob for my Duo2. Although that does seem a bit like taking out the Low Fuel lamp on your car dashboard because that can be seriously irritating too .. m.
