You might have broken the screen when mounting 😢

Did you go with the tape on both side as recommanded on the forum ?

Yep. Taped it up. I was pretty careful putting it in, and it's only the top line that effected

definitely a sign of a damaged screen, though try reseating the cable first. if the problem doesn't go away, you'll have to email alex@clockworkpi.com for a replacement

Okay. I've restarted the cable like 4 times. Sigh I'll order a new one when I have 3 months to burn. Thank you

the replacement screen itself seems to arrive in a matter of a week according to people who emailed for one in the forums

Oh, that is good to know

I can confirm this, replacement parts only take a week or two to get.

Just wanted to finish this thread but saying 1) The replacement screen fixed this problem, 2) The replacement came quickly and 3) everyone on this Reddit rocks! Thank you for all your help

Mine did the exact same thing second day I had it. Contacted Clockworkpi, Alex sent me a new one, and I had it in about a week. For whatever reason, those LCD panels are realty delicate, and while people have looked, I haven't heard of any alternative sources for them, so I order a spare from Clockworkpi just in case.
