I just received the screen in the order below and it is damaged. Please see the picture attached at the top center of the screen. This was only powered on for maybe 5min, I only used the power supply from the order. The screen gets so hot it will burn you at the top where the tinfoil covering is. I am assuming it melted the actual screen. This is not a configuration issue, it's a defective part.
Please advise ASAP as this was like this out of the box. I would like a replacement and do not want to pay return shipping or any additional brokerage and taxes out of my pocket for the replacement.

I received the replacement and the exact same thing has happened to this screen. Too hot to touch and the screen is now melted at the top.
The replacement screen was used with the ORIGINAL recommended power adapter. Please advise ASAP.

What are you using for a power supply? We have found running at 5V reduces or eliminates this problem.

I am using the 12v 1a power supply the site recommended for the screen.

That seems to be a problem. If you have a 5V power supply please try that instead. Also which screen are you using?

Was the screenshot what you wanted or do you need a different pic?

Re: Order 548244-5259088820 Damaged screen.
We're poking at this now. One of the reasons we didn't see this earlier is that we use 9VDC in the shop and we did test with 12VDC but maybe not long enough to see this issue (we use a bench supply to determine power draw)
we'll update with more more shortly!

Thanks for the update...
I would say in under 5 min for sure the unit should feel too hot to be normal and past that you should see damage start on the top.
