I have just assembled my picocalc and have found that it has some stuck pixels down in the lower left corner, I thought that maybe re-seating the display ffc might help but it’s still exactly the same. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas on how to sort it? I read about the fragility of the screen so I was super careful assembling and I’m fairly certain I didn’t break anything.
If you’ve tried reseating the display cable and there has been no change you need to contact…
And attach your evidence.

Thank you both, it’s not the end of the world as it is but I am concerned it might get worse. I appear to be unusually unlucky, my uConsole screen didn’t get any power at all when I assembled it, so this is not so bad in comparison.

Maybe try running this program, maybe it will unstick the pixels? Maybe?
Const BLK=RGB(0,0,0)
Const RED=RGB(255,0,0)
Const ORG=RGB(255,165,0)
Const YLW=RGB(255,255,0)
Const GRN=RGB(0,255,0)
Const BLU=RGB(0,0,255)
Const IDG=RGB(75,0,130)
Const VLT=RGB(148,0,211)
Const WHT=RGB(255,255,255)
For Count = 1 To 100

worth a go, but no help unfortunately
I figured that would be the case, but I have seen weirder things fix problems with electronics.
they are going to release a new display revision, but have no idea when. you can request a replacement via email or you can ask when the new revision will be available as currently you display kinda works
Yeah I’m happy enough to buy a new display if it comes to it, it’s really not too impactful to have 2 weird pixels for me

Think the last time he charged around $10 plus postage.
