Re: WIP
that looks really good! Is that the variant 7 screen from the wiki? If so how is the picture. I am using one in my most recent build and I found the picture is not as clear as the normal gearbest screen I use, and the text really fuzzy.
I have not removed the IC as you have, and just soldered a jumper to it. I'm wondering if that will help a bit, or if the screen in general is not as clear as the gearbest version I normally use.
Mostly wondering to determine if I should open it up and remove the IC, to help with clarity.

Re: WIP
I've used the gearbest screen once before and quite a few of the variant 7 screens, TBH none of them are the same and the differences are subjective, I suspect screen to screen variations have a bigger impact than one particular design. I find the layout/size of the gearbest screen PCB doesn't fit the system very well or at least how I lay it out.
If you have ran a jumper from pin 3 to the +12V input I could see that having an effect but if you removed the +12V input wire and just soldered to pin 3 I'm not sure it would make much difference.

Re: WIP
Ah yeah. I'll open it up and try that out. See how it changes.

Edit.
Ran the 5v wire right to the IC, skipping the 12v input. No change. I guess this screen quality isn't as good as the gearbest ones I normally use.
Not a deal breaker. Thanks for the tip.

Re: WIP
Looks good....
Could be wrong....
But is your barrel jack wired incorrectly....
(Power is normally at the end, first two are normally ground)

Re: WIP
After zooming in, it looks to be wired correct.

Re: WIP
Good eyes Veteran, actually the USB to DC plug cables I got from Kitsch Bent are wired backwards (+ve is outer part of plug and inner is -ve). Which is the complete opposite to how they come from ebay/Aliexpress (and the general way of doing all DC plugs). Hence the reason I wired it that way. Just have to make sure that a cable and not a different charging cable in the future.
Also to add to Veterans's post use the bottom connector for ground (or +ve in my case) not the side one since the side one is disconnected when inserting a plug.
