I had a gameboy 1997 that looked just like that, probably the same type of screen to be honest;P
I think it needs to be replaced:(
Contact Elektron and create a support ticket.
…that’s two broken display lines…and they won’t return…
my mpc screens showed that kind of symptoms after a few years, too…
pretty common thing…and no big deal, since these kind of oldschool standard displays, elektron keep on using, are pretty cheap and easy to replace…

Recently had a simular thing with my octatracks screen goign corrupted.
It was fixed by opening the unit and removing the 3 wited connectors , blowing out the dust and reconnecting everything, ( there r very easy to disconnect) in all it took about 10 mins and def worth trying if ur warranty has run out, there is a vid on youtube somewhere that shows exactly how to do it ,but its not hard to do
Maybe that will fix it for u

…sounds good…
and this might be also a good place to ask for for nice, dark and sexy oled displays to built in as standard in future elektron machines…
and by the way…can i have something like an a4 octatrack rytm combi twister sister model…?..a mk2 ot a4 rytm monomachine in one machine…4 stereo track decks, 4 drum voices, 4 synth voices, 4 monoengines all under one roof with an oled display on top of it all…
something like an op16, made in sweden and not by teenage engineering…?
seeing the same here today on my AK for the second timethis year, first occurred a couple months back but went back to normal on its own til now.
pixels aren’t actually dead, they’re just… selective?? here’s a vid…
test mode shows this…
i guess a new screen is due… 
You could try re-seating the internal connectors, as suggested further up the thread. I’ve had to do this a couple of times on my Octatrack MkI. It takes 5 minutes.
Oh ok thanks, missed that post. Will give it a try.
[edit] all cables reseated, cleaned etc, no change unfortunately. not a 5-min job with the AK - took a while as the keybed is proper fiddly. At least I got that crumb from under the screen

It’s the Swedish flag!
You have found a hidden feature.
I’m joking but I’m sorry for your concern.

Ohhhh, Analog KEYS, I didn’t notice that. Well, sorry this didn’t help with your problem! Worth a try though

check for cracked solder joints on the screen assembly. you can reheat the solder join to fix it if that’s the problem. otherwise you’ll probably have to replace the screen`
