Sick 5110 LCD

Post by cribbage »

I have a new to me 5110 LCD that doesn't seem to be doing very well,

The problem seems to be that the LCD is smeary, the image is shown correctly, but there are extraneous pixels lit around it. (images attached show it better)

I am not sure if I am missing anything, I wired it to the included 4050 chip and it worked once (exhibited the smeary problem), after the 4050 chip problem I directly drove it from my UNO. It worked again but with the same smeary problem, I then switched to short solid core wires and still the same problem.

The program being run is the 5110 example code on an arduino uno
