Received my parts! Yea!

Noticed bad ribbon cables. Boo!

The ends of my screen ribbon cable appears to be peeling back. They were both ( I ordered two) bent on the corners and when I tried to install them I saw the metal was peeling away from the ? laminate?
See attached.

Can I possibly get replacements?

Seems like the better way to handle this is to contact the seller (Helder) directly rather than make this thread even longer and more off topic.

I live somewhere in New Jersey (not gonna say where for obvious reasons), and I've been seeing many people recieving their mintypi boards, anyone have an answer to when I'll get them?

Helder and I are both shipping orders in the order they were received, so location won't have anything to do with it other than transit time.

Central NJ here, I ordered 5 minutes after they went live and once you get the shipping notification, you'll get them in 2 days. As wermy said, Helder is shipping them in the order they were received.

While risking sounding hypocritical, this is the News and Updates thread guys.

There are other threads within the MintyPi forum to cover most bases.

Chasing delivery really needed go to any of these, however.

Unless your order is seriously delayed (in which case PM the guys) maybe just be patient? They have literally just been sent out?!

I subscribed to this thread so that as and when Wermy completes his guide I can check it out in preparation for my build. Instead ive had numerous alerts relating to posts regarding trigger buttons and delivery...🤔

Come on chaps 😎

Since people are just randomly posting questions here and this thread has gone off topic way too much I'm going to lock it until Wermy has an update to post and he can unlock it if he wishes.
