Feather TFT ESP320S2 Display not working

Post by Moontok »

I just received the Feather ESP32-S2 TFT today and plugged it in to find the display not working.

The LED is cycling through all the colors and when I can control the LED. However, when I try to do anything with the display, it does not show. I tried Factory Resetting at found here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-esp ... tory-reset and looked at similar issues in your forums.

It did not fix the issue, however, the LED still cycles through the colors but the display still is black.

Thank you for your time.

Check the TFT carefully. Do you see any chips or cracks along the edges?

I see no cracks or chips directly on the TFT. However, on the corner I see a possible flaw, but not sure. Sharing image with it marked.

That's part of the TFT assembly. The one shown above is more blobby than usual, but that shouldn't cause a loss of function.

Let's try another board. Send a note containing a link to this page and your order number to [email protected]. The folks there will get you a replacement.
