Magnet wire would work, the thinnest thing possible because the area to attach solder to is so tiny. You'll need to carefully scrape away the soldermask to reveal the copper. Be careful not to scrape away the neighbouring copper as it will be GND, which when soldered will just short out the pin mean...

Pre-orders are now closed. Thank you everyone! Confirmation emails will be sent later tomorrow

Hi, Electronics look fine, but the Pi isn't booting, meaning the SD card isn't being read correctly. Looking at your pictures, one of those test pads on the Pi itself is missing (ripped off or otherwise).

It's an optional extra for those that want something a bit higher in quality, both are fine choices. I hope that has helped :) Seems like a no-brainer. Can you provide a type number for Aliexpress or something, or is that a corporate secret? :D I think I remember you previously linked to the 320x24...

is the 640x480 screen hands down better than the 320x240 screen in every way, or are there some things the 320 screen does better like color, brightness, response time...? Curious about this as well The 640x480 LCD has 4x as many pixels compared to the included 320x240 LCD, which does make text and...

Could you show a picture of how it is all connected up?

Which software image have you put on the SDs? Do you have the link to the one used? The arrow is just a protective sticker on the LCD.
Could you let me know the version printed on the main board?

Edit the cs-config.txt file back to how it was before (the NORMAL mode, you have put it in TEST mode as per the instructions)
