Problem with 2.8" Shield

Post by bluesmash »

Hello,

A few days ago I bought a Adafruit 2.8 "TFT Touch Shield for Arduino v2.

This also worked perfectly right away.
I use it with an Arduino Mega.

After a few programming tests it had more and more problems, sometimes when i power up the arduino, the Display stayed white ...

Now it shows nothing, only white.

Also the graphics test program from the examples does not work anymore, this one worked great in the beginning.
I think there is a loose contact on the display ...

What can i do?

Can you post a photo of you setup showing all connections. Also, the backside of the shield (like this photo).

Hello

Now it works!

The problem was the arduino mega board.
The Mega2560 was soldered bad on the Board.
