2.0" LCD (new!!) ANNOYING BLINK !!!

Post by mannis »

Dear community and Adafruit,
i'm Nicola from italy.
Last thursday i received this screen and only this morning i had the possibility to try it !

I premise i have many dc switching to supply the power as required and i've never had any problems ( like the one i'm going to explain below ) before.

The first time i used the display all went good..! Simply perfect ! The second time while using it started to flicker, blue lines on the screen and continuously off-on-off-on.. I thought could be a problem of the adapter or the raspberry.. I decided to let it cool down and try to see what would happen only by giving it the power in stand-by.. Placing it on the box the problem hasnt been resolved but ive noticed that using it with the part of the solders over the box the problem gone away........... :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

below i attached the clip where u can see what happen !!!

PLEASE HELP :( :( :(

Thanks in advance,
Nicola!

Make sure the ribbon cable is fully inserted into the socket. It sounds like a poor connection. Make sure the cable is secure on both ends.
