    I think it is unrelated to the Firmware update but right after I updated the firmware my screen looks like this (see image below). I think some static electricity shorted something on the LCD's board.

    That or the connections (ribbon cable connectors) to the LCD or the RAMPS are loose or bad.

    Turned out to be firmware issue. I was advised by Reddit to add the below delays underneath
    #define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER

    #Define ST7920_DELAY_1 DELAY_NS(0)
    #Define ST7920_DELAY_2 DELAY_NS(250)
    #Define ST7920_DELAY_3 DELAY_NS(0)

    For reference, what firmware version were you seeing this issue?

    Ah, that makes more sense.
    Good work -- getting from 1.0 to 1.1.x is not a simple hop on this printer.
