      @mmrize Yeah I noticed that the cable is not really tight. I tried fixing it with some tape already :D

    • Controller Board crashes after a while

      Hey! I really need help with the mirror I’m building. Its my girlfriends Birthday in just 4 days and I don’t have the time randomly ordering new Boards and Displays just to trial and error my way to a solution.

      I’m a Software Engineer so I had no trouble so far but I’m at a loss when it comes to this kind of hardware. So I orderer a “matching” Controller Board and a Display from Amazon.

      At first it looked like everything works fine but after a few minutes the board seems to crash. First theres a lot of stripes on the screen, the board turns out (indicating with the red LED) and powers on a few seconds later. After that it just takes about 30 seconds to crash again. At first I thought I might fix this by putting some heat sinks on the chip which gets really hot but it did not help. I trief contacting the vendor via amazon but they would not get me in contact with them and just gave me back my money.

      Heres a list of things I tried so far:

      • Adding heat sinks
      • Using the VGA Port
      • Another power supply

      I also tried finding the correct firmware files but none of the tutorials worked so far.

      I really hope someone can help me and if you need any more details I’m glad to give them to you, I just don’t know yet what exactly you need to know. Thats why I just add a few images of the board and the display. Also theres a video showing the problem.
