I broke my backlight

Post by Okay » Sun Mar 12, 2017 5:26 am

Hello,

If the title isnt self explanitory enough I broke my LCD backlight, more specifically my cat broke this this display's backlight http://sudomod.com/wiki/index.php?title ... te_Display
I was working on wiring a switch to the RUN pins on the pi 3 model b+ for a gameboy zero without the gameboy and the zero project when my cat decided to jump on my desk and in one swift movement managed to knock the entire project on the floor. Immediately I plugged everything in to make sure that nothing was damaged however to my dismay the screen appeared to not turn on however upon closer inspection I found that it was still on just the backlight was broken. So I headed over to ebay and punched the lcd model number in and I found this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-5-LCD-Scree ... Sw-tNXHsPw which was fine until I saw the 10-30 working days for it to arrive and I don't feel like waiting that long. So, here's hoping that someone has already encountered a problem like this and might be able to help fix it?

1. There is no physical damage to the controller board that I can see
2. The ribbon cable looks intact
3. the drop from the desk to the carpet is about a meter give or take.

Thanks ;)
