I am working on my mod now, but already ordering parts for my second. So I just ordered this exact same screen today, not sure if it's going to work, but I hope so :)

Please tell us when you recieve it :)

I'm going with this one, since for me it's a bit cheaper with free shipping. If it dosn't work I'll consider the one you ordered.

Yes, that is the one I am using right now. You might get a bit of a surprise there with the width of the drive board of the LCD.

Do you have any picture of the board?
If you succeeded in using it, could you provide some info about how you did it?

No, I only ordered yesterday on eBay, from China or somewhere, so that will take 2-3 weeks :( That's why I ordered it in advance, while still working on the first one :)

But the board will definitely will be a square shape, not bigger than the LCD, so I hope it works. Because the on from the picture is just too big... But works :)

Also, I don't know if it's just my piece, but the ribbon connector on this is stupid. The ribbon cable is a bit smaller that the connector, so you have to play with the connection a bit.

:lol:
Mine works on 5V, as I said, however when I first tested it I had the Pi connected by USB adapter, not a battery. So now when I use the battery the screen flickers.
So it sucks! Going to play around with it tomorrow. But so far I think it's a bit under powered and I am not using the same Powerboost, so I ordered the Adafruit one and hoping it will stop flicker... :(
