half of the display with garbage

[guideon]

Hi, I have two t-display-s3 boards one is working fine and the other one is having half of the screen with garbage and a black mask. I have tried everything but when I upload a sketch with Arduino 2 it is not displayed on the entire screen. I am not so good in MCU and did not find a way to reset to factory default. Help would be appreciated.

This may not be possible, as it may be a screen burning phenomenon similar to OLED.

I have broken my lcd while placing it on a breadboard. Where do I find a replacement screen, and can you suggest how to remove the broken screen from the board?

These are fragile screens. I have several that fall apart due to warmer climates. They are easy to pull apart, or in my case, fall apart. I would be interested in replacement displays also.

Same here, it "broke" when plugging into a breadboard. I guess the flatband connector is really finnicky, especially the lower part ­where the data lines are. I wonder if the version with Touch is more stable?

OMG...you broke it? get a new one....

Well, it's 35€ here, so I won't do that when it is that easy to break by putting it into a breadboard… it still works as a "normal" S3 development board, which is good.

This issue is stale because it has been open for 30 days with no activity.

Minus all the pins used up by the display :(
