I don't think it is an issue with the USB cables, because I'm using the same cables with the OSC with no problems. I will double check though.

I'm tempted to think there might be two problems. The first is the darkest line. That looks like a row read problem or a low sensitivity row. The second are the other lines which look like signal noise - possible cabling etc. My qhy9m has a small column problem that goes away after processing. Might try swapping cabling/ports around. Not sure if this helps but good luck.
Cheers
