Adafruit ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather - very sensitiv display connection...

Post by slight »

Hello Adafruit-Team,

just want to let you / the community know that i just accidentally broken my TFT display on my
Adafruit ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather
while using the front reset button.

here a close up of the problematics:

the display is mounted (sticked) slightly to close to the reset button - and therefor the flex-pcb connector is bend sharp at the button-housing.


i used the reset button during development a bunch of times and it seems in this process i pressed on the flex-pcb too...
now i think whit this i broken a trace...
and therefor the display stays black. (also in bootloader mode...)
background-lighting comes still on.
maybe sometime in the future i have a day off and try to fix it... could get very flimsy.... not much to loos ;-)

so i would recommend everyone to carefully check if the flex-pcb is free from the connector-housing and bends smoothly *round*...

seems this TFTs are way more sensitive than i thought...

sunny greetings
stefan
