Need Some Help with a screen
Re: Need Some Help with a screen
If there is a pre soldered screen coming out can that be ordered on its own? I'm gonna need one. Everything about my build has gone so well, apart from the screen. So stressed right now. I'd rather not continue with this screen and end up throwing the whole thing out of the window!

And so it goes com bad to worse.. carefully removed the ribbon connector on the board to expose the pads, attempted to solder the ribbon directly and burnt the pads off the board.
Help me helder, you're my only hope

Re: Need Some Help with a screen
Dude I'm running out of spare parts because of people's inexperience and just bad equipment and techniques and wanting me to replace things. What kind of iron do you have? Is it variable temp? Show me pictures of the lcd ribbon and the lcd board.

Re: Need Some Help with a screen
Completely understand your frustration mate. It's true, I am no experienced electronics engineer, nor do I own expensive kit associated with those skills. I would imagine that goes for 75% of peeps on this forum. I use a 25w antex iron, no variable temp. There's no salvaging the board, ribbon or lcd. The contacts on the ribbon are gone, so are the contacts on the board. As such it's for the trash.
If I could possibly purchase from you a replacement lcd I would greatly appreciate it. If I could get a one pre soldered/connected I would appreciate it even more.

Re: Need Some Help with a screen
That iron operates at approximately 420c / 790f which is way too hot for this project. Without a proper iron I would bet that there will be plenty projects joining that LCD in the heap. You can pick up a decent temp controlled iron for a little less than $50.bumfuffy wrote: ↑Sun Sep 03, 2017 11:19 pmCompletely understand your frustration mate.

Re: Need Some Help with a screen
Running real low on extra parts from people messing things up. For the screen try eBay for a 2.4inch ILI9341 SPI screen without touch screen, shouldn't be much $$

Re: Need Some Help with a screen
The touch panel makes it too thick. It is possible to remove it if you're very very careful. You can just take a razor around the edge and snip off the ribbon that's attached to the touch panel.peeweejedi wrote: ↑Wed Sep 06, 2017 5:12 amI accidentally got one with a touch screen will that still work.
