I was advised by email support to post in the forums about my DOA product.
PRODUCT: Pi Foundation PiTFT - 7" Touchscreen Display for Raspberry Pi[ID:2718]
Order Number: 969249-9054609253
Purchase Date: 12/23/2015
The display does not work. When I received the display, it was already assembled. The video with the product shows the product in the box not assembled and I would need to assemble it. That was my first questionable portion of the arrival of my order. I followed the video instructions for attaching the DSI cable. I first used a USB power connection for the display to my Raspberry Pi 2. When powering on the device as shown in the video, I could see the lights on the Raspberry PI blinking, but the display has no output.
I then decided to try the pins from the display to the Raspberry PI board just as the video shows. Still nothing from the display.
I disconnect the Raspberry PI from the display plug back in my HDMI monitor and the Raspberry PI boots up and display is shown.
I had a low light room and plugged the display in without the Raspberry PI attached and there is no hint of the display turning on, getting power to the display itself or any response from it. I would have expected at least the backlighting of the display to show some hint of receiving power.
I asked the email support for a replacement and if that could not be arranged then I want a refund for the defective device.
Regards,
Ben
