Hi all,

I started playing with the Vocore screens recently, and bought a 4" and 5" screen. The 4" works perfectly, but when I swap it for the 5" this screen seems to get a lot of interference and lines across the screen.

I'm using same USB port (powered USB hub) and cable when I switch between

Am I looking at a hardware issue, or is there anything else driver wise I should be looking at?

Thanks,

Tom

Ouh, that's ugly indeed, the data seems to flow correctly, I would look for power issues (the screen is brighter and larger, so it consumes a bit more) or maybe (and that's my best bet) a ribbon issue, check that the ribbon between the usb board and the screen  is not broken/pinched and is properly connected.

I've checked all connections, ribbon ports etc, all looks good. I've wiggled them all and no difference to display.

Firmware and drivers checked. Tried motherboard USB port as well as powered hub.

I'll get onto voocore directly and see

Hey @thosirl,

were you able to resolve your issues? I seem to be having the same problems. When I unpacked and checked the screen, nothing was apparent. Now, 4 weeks later, I finished my build and connected the screen, these weird interferences appeared.

@yfyicoco 

Unfortunately, I was unable to repair it. Reducing the contrast improves the image slightly, but still does not solve the problem

I have the same issue, the screen stirped. Tried to set the refresh rate from min to max, not helped. The only thing solve if set the brightness and contras below 50% but then the screen look ugly, shaded.

Refresh the firmware from vocore, the same result.

@gerisoft I contacted vocore and they said it's the screen glass that's broken and it can't be fixed it's due to how it's handled, if you press to hard or flex it it breaks, only fix is a replacement🙃

@yfyicoco nice info, actually it is new and doing it from first day. (it was stored on shelf for long time). Used dozens of USBD480 when build wheels or displays, this was the first try with vocore, maybe the last one as well

I just developed the same problem on my 5 inch screen. I waited nearly 3 months for it to be delivered and now after less than 1 month it is completely useless. To say that I am less than impressed with Vocore's build quality would be an understatement. It wouldn't be so bad if they had a better distribution system and you didn't have to wait months to get a new unit
