Not looking good....rednakes wrote: ↑Wed May 17, 2017 8:12 pmGah...
I ordered a 2.2" ILI9341 from eBay last month but instead I received a 2.4" for some reason. It looks different from the other 2.4" ones I've seen posted here so far.
Will this one work if I desolder the pins or remove the screen?

From the URL shown on the back of the board (mcufriend.com), I went to the site and found this info for the board in Chinese (ili9325, ili9341):

I'd first try and get a refund, as you ordered a 2.2 screen and this ain't it.
If your intending to make a mintyPi, you've gotta have an altoid tin at hand to test these things I don't think that board will even fit into the tin...
It may not all be lost... You may be able to use it, but I'd find out what driver it is for certain...
Because you may be able to seperate it, and use the bare screen.
Removing the screen may end up damaging it, then you have the issue of wiring up a bare screen.
Personally I'd either sell it or put it away for another project, and get either a 2.2 screen that we know works or wait for wermy and Helder to come up with their magic and make things a lot easiers
