[NEED HELP] Smoke from wires / screen
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2016 3:45 am
So I have got my screen. It was apperently a BW 3.5 version 2 screen according to the wiki. I tried connecting it to my pi, and the wire becomes very hot and it even starts to smoke after a few seconds. Obviously the screen isn't working either.
I don't have pictures at the moment but I can provide if nessecary. I did the wiring on the pi the same as wermy in his part 3 of the guide.
I did kinda fuck up at the wiring for 5 volt, having solder a bit all over the place, and I suspect that might be the case, but before I jump to conclusions I would like to hear if any of you had this problem or know what I can do with it.
Thanks in advance
