LCD board help convert to 5V
LCD board help convert to 5V
Hello everyone I could really use some help I been trying to figure out how to convert this LCD board to 5V but I can't find an answer.
Here's the picture of the board itself
ALSO: here's the link where I bought it (it was really nice well packaged and also the screen doesnt come glued to the case so it was easy to remove) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-5-Inc ... 04646.html
Thank you in advance.

According to the wiki, you have a variant 7 screen.Pirate wrote:Hello everyone I could really use some help I been trying to figure out how to convert this LCD board to 5V but I can't find an answer.

You need to solder a wire from the areas I marked in red:

It could be that it still does NOT work after that. If that is the case, you actualy need to desolder that chip (the one with the marked pin) and solder a wire to the same marked area.
Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to inform you that I am currently moving very far away, and therefore I am very busy.
UPDATE: I am still alive! My ISP is setting up my internet on the 19th of January at my new place, explaining my offline-ness.
If you write me a PM, I will very likely take some time to respond.
Also, my 2nd build will soon go on, so if you've been following it, please stay tuned!
Many thanks for your understanding!

Will you use it with Retropie? If yes, does that work out of the box?Pirate wrote:sotasystems wrote:Cool, I used an RPi 3 in mine.

Re: LCD board help convert to 5V
Yes there is a huge community dedicated on porting Retropie on to the OPI and right now we have a stable release and it works perfectly right out of the box here's the facebook group for the RetroOrangePi
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1131759626884432/
ALSO: they made an official forums where you can download the right version for your board.

(Correct me if I am wrong), but as I am seeing correctly it is an old version of Retropie, right? Are there any versions that keep up with the latest release?
