The eyes show up on my big screen, and on one of the OLEDs for a short while, but then stopped.
I understand something might be incorrect with the soldering, but the eye that showed, why did that stop? Both eyes on my big screen continued...

Post a photo showing your hardware and connections and we'll take a look. 800x600 images usually work best.

As you can see I'm not so good at soldering, which probably explains the eye that didn´t show anything, but the eye that started and then stopped?

Re: Snake eyes not working - need help troubleshooting
It is hard to see the solder joints very well in the picture, but some do look suspect. Any that look like a little ball are bad. You want them all to look like a cone with concave sides. You might look up a soldering guide that has pictures that might help. You should try reheating those and adding a little more solder. See if any of that helps.

It does look like some of the solder joints need a bit of work.
