I was also wondering how were you planning on providing power do the screen? Were you going to solder or were you using a Micro USB? If you soldered it do you have any pictures?
thanks....

heres how i will have mine wired up (already tested and works perfectly)

Image


positive is attached to the bridged the switch points
negative is attached to the usb port point at the top nearest to the switch....

if you dont want to remove either the switch of the usb port, you can wire from under the board

also there no need to cut/trim/butcher the board too much (just a little off one end is needed)....
this is how my board will be in the build...

Do you have links to the various Chinese parts and other parts you used for this build, especially that HDMI ribbon cable?

How are you going to press these buttons when the screen is stuck to both sides of the case?
