Broken 2.5" NTSC/PAL TFT Display

Post by stuffrulz »

Support, please help! I just got my order today of this screen, but it would not work when hooking it up to my raspberry pi. The power supply was fine, the back light would turn on but it would not show anything on it. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the components were badly soldered to the pcb with some of them connected together. I'm fairly certain that is not supposed to happen, and I have no other idea of what could be possibly wrong. I'm looking for a possible replacement of this screen.

Could you post clear pictures of your board and the connections to it?

Yikes.. it looks like something went wrong in the reflow oven for that one.

Send a note to [email protected] with a link to this thread and the folks there will get you a new one. They may also arrange return shipping so we have that one on hand when we talk to the manufacturer.
