Poorly Assembled PiTFT

Post by JustMeHere »

While I appreciate not having to put together my PiTFT, I am very disappointed in how it was put together.
1) The data ribbon was only partially inserted into it's connector.
2) Tape securing the screen to the board has no tack.
3) The solder joints look very dull.

I connected the ribbon properly before I even tried and it at least works.

Is this the norm, or did I just get a unit put together by someone who needs a little coaching?
