Hallo Brauche Hilfe. Vor lauter Begeisterung das er endlich da ist, habe ich beim montieren gleich mal das Display angeknackst. Ganz toll . Ein Bild kommt aber es fehlen jede Menge Zeilen. Kann mir jemand sagen was da für ein Display verbaut wurde? Danke im vorraus. ---

Hi! I’m really sorry to hear that you broke the screen. In fact, over the past few weeks I’ve read a good part of the forum, and I’ve seen several cases like yours. Tomorrow my PicoCalc arrives — I’m also excited to get it up and running, but based on these experiences I wonder: - Is there any specific recommendation to avoid accidentally breaking the screen during assembly? - Do you know of any video guide that would be useful to watch before starting the assembly? Thanks in advance! ---

First thoughts, will update as I go along… Issue 2.0 board ? (CPI 2.0) Unable to shine hi lumen light through the board to see possible clear areas for spi device mounting posts. Due to black finish and filling all unused areas with copper (saves acid during production process and increases heat spreading, improves electrical noise issues). Speaker slots have no holes to allow the sound out ?. Shame ‘CLOCKWORK’ and ‘ON/OFF’ printed right where they could… ---

The general recommendation I have seen is tape down the screen, making sure to not cover the light guide for the LED, prior to continuing in the assembly of your PicoCalc. Also, be extremely cautious when changing boards in your PicoCalc, as many people have broken their screens due to it slipping out of place when doing this, and then breaking when they screw their PicoCalcs back together, or due to bending and cracking the screen in the process even if it is taped down. Of course, this leads to the suggestion of removing the mainboard altogether prior to switching boards plugged into it, but this has the problem of that the connector used to attach the display to the mainboard is quite thin and fragile and hence prone to damage. As a result, even when doing this I would be very careful. ---

Gracias! Muchas gracias por las recomendaciones. Faltan menos de 24 hs (teoricamente) para que llegue…luego de esperar casi 4 meses por ella. Seria horrible romper algo durante el armado. Tengo bastante experiencia con el uso de placas y desarrollo de prototipos electrónicos, pero nunca se sabe! Saludos! Thank you! Thanks a lot for the recommendations. Less than 24 hours left (theoretically) until it arrives… after waiting almost 4 months for it. It would be terrible to break something during assembly. I have quite a bit of experience with using boards and developing electronic prototypes, but you never know! Best regards! ---

I have used a double sided tape at the back of the screen. It works fine. ---

Hallo nochmal Zweites Display bekommen . Toll funktioniert bis ich die mittleren schrauben angezogen habe. Nur mal gerade so leicht Handfest. Und wieder gebrochen. Dann habe ich bevor ich alles zum Fenster rauswerfen mal die Auflage der oberen Gehäuse Halbschale untersucht. Und genau da wo es bricht stehen vom guss 3 Grate ca 1\*1 mm hoch. Also neues Display ordern und vorsichtshalber Plastik begradigen.
