/diy/ - Do It Yourself

it is a TFT, non touch

it has a weird problem where it looks like pic related 4/5 times when powered on. No amount of jiggling the connections and ribbon cables affects it once it is on. it just stays like that no matter what.
Then I have to keep cycling the power until it works, not even touching any connections at all, it just randomly works after cycling it a few times. same deal once it is on, no amount of messing with the connections will affect it either way at all. once it is on, it stays like that no matter what
Then sometimes when I turn it on it just stays white and gets extremely hot near the ribbon cable/backlight LED like it is shorting somewhere. just cycling the power will fix it

I havent researched enough to understand what is happening and why it is seemingly not dependent on the connection
