ESP32-S2 TFT Reverse Defective Display

Post by bytesizedengineering »

I bought 2x ESP32-S2 TFT Reverse boards on January 27, 2023 and my order number was 3006103. One of them worked great, but after lots of troubleshooting I'm convinced that the tft display on the second one might be defective. I am able to load code on the first one and it works fine, but when I load that exact same code on the second board the display never turns on or shows anything. I even loaded the "factory reset" demo graphics code straight from Adafruit's website. The first one works great, while the second one doesn't display anything, just a black screen. I'm able to upload other code and print stuff to the serial monitor, so it seems to be isolated to the tft display. I've attached photos as requested, but they just show the black screen not working (not very helpful or interesting). I'm not sure how else to demonstrate the problem with photos. I would like a replacement so I can use this second board.

Some sort of serious problem. There are two very similar listing on the shop. Which product do you have? https://www.adafruit.com/product/5691 or https://www.adafruit.com/product/5345?
