adafruit 1.2" display with backpack Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

I am using this display on a Rasp Pi 400. The backpack connects properly and the display works (partially). I'm using python code display[0] = 'N' to check the display, where N is a number from 0 to 9. The numbers 1,3,6,7,8 display properly.

However, the remaining digits have errors like this:
2 display the correct segments for 2 but also lights seg f.
4 display H
5 displays 6
9 display 8

Any help would be appreciated.

I also used the clock code and it runs fine except the same digits (2,4,5,9) are wrong. I'm wondering if it could be the display. I assume if I assembled it wrong I would get nothing. But again, the assembly picture looks just like the one on the Adafruit website.

I found my problem and decided to put it here in case anyone has a similar problem. I simply had a small bridge solder joint between to pins.
