Hi, On a non-defect device you should have no problems. If you have a broken device, then you need to get your device replaced because hacking its software should not cause the hardware to fail, gaining root / setting rd-mode etc. should not cause any problems for the display as they have no direct connection with each other. If someone has hardware problem, it is not necessarily related to gaining root, it may be then just coincidental that it appeared with the rd-mode setting.
