Display repeatedly freezes (possibly driver and/or hardware problems)

Verification

• [X] I searched for similar bug reports and found none was relevant.

What happened?

It randomly becomes a weird glitchy mess, watchdog resets when put on charger, then does it again.

What should happen instead?

It not doing a weird glitchy mess

Reproduction steps

I have literally no idea how it happened... just cropped up randomly about an hour ago. possibly a hardware issue, but no visible defects so maybe also driver related? More stats in video, bootloader 1.0.0

1. Screen appears, frozen, the top 1/4 of the display de-synced looking something like this:

2. a. Wait a while with it on the charging cradle and it might reset and be fine b. Try to manually reset it (long press and hold button)

3. Assuming a reset is attempted, the screen starts flickering, a reset happens when placed on the charging cradle and everything is fine.

This all seems VERY effected by putting the device on the charging cradle, it happens more often when on it, and is the only way to stop the screen flicker

More details?

Tried re-flashing everything (firmware, os, recovery image), it still happens.

Of course it stopped as soon as I posted this, so...

It started happening again, most of the time it just gets stuck on a black screen because the watch is in sleep when it happens. It seems like a very odd display issue now, is it weird drivers, or hardware?

It seems to have fixed itself, and was most likely caused by a tiny bit of moisture doing stuff inside the watch to connectors etc.

Is probably a hardware issue unrelated to InfiniTime.
