Email Alex and ask for a screen replacement. Shipping is significantly faster than production time. 3 - 4 weeks

> Afternoon all, So I was swapping my pico boards and seemed to of damaged the ribbon cable for my display. Yesterday I was getting a corrupted but functional screen. I did reseat the cable and the image stayed the same. I tried booting today and I’m not getting an video today. I looked on the shop and don’t see any replacement display options. Is there a compatible display I can look for?

Perfectly normal when you damage it.
