Modifications on my screen ? (Blue PCB) [Amazon.de, ePathChina]

Post by AlexKidd2 » Thu May 26, 2016 11:34 am

Hi all !

I didn't find any answer to my question, so I just would like to know one thing.
Here my screen :
- Shop : Amazon.de
- Seller : EPATHDIRECT
- Brand : ePathChina

Image

Should I do any modification on the PCB, or can I solder directly the red/black/white & yellow like on the Pi0 in the tuto #3 ?

Thank you very much... :)

Ok Fleder :)

Could you visit my help topic here http://www.sudomod.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3812#p3812 please ? I have a black screen and I don't know why... My solders aren't beautiful but I tested all the connections with a multimeter and it should work !

check to make sure none of the contact points are touching each other where you removed the regulator. it looks like 2 points may be touching. opposite row where the orange wire is connected.

not sure if thats whats causing it to not work, but i would try wicking off all the solder in that area with a braid, and then just soldering the orange wire back
