Safety of steping up to 12v

[Patxiku]

Hi, since I broke my LCD controller doing the 5v conversion (variant 7), I was wondering if it'd be safe to user a step up module so I don't have to risk breaking another LCD controller with my newbie skills.
My step up module is this one,




Would it still work?

Sorry if it is an obvious question.
Thanks in advice.
Pat.

That's a good question, i have been wandering that also... I think it can be made.
Probably this will consume more power from the battery tho...

A little late.

I'll try it today and report if it works well or not.

It's a loss of 10%, but 10% just for the screen is acceptable to me (better than burning a driver board once again)
