    Can anyone see any reason why the displays below wouldn't work? They're the same size & manufacturer.

    Did you replace R694 with a jumper? This should make it bright enough at daylight.
  • my screen is also very dark. il try to swap R694 with a jumper wire. hoping this is the fix
  • I also had a dark display and replaced R694 with 10 ohms. Way better but not superlight. 0 ohms didn't do much difference so I figured some resistance perhaps is better?

    Word of caution, in v 1.02 R691 & R694 are swapped compared to the original build guide images.
  • R84 needs to be 3k9. Also make sure to replace R72 for a 200k and R86_2 for a 10k as recommended by Gihaume. This will improve the noise of the HH filter. And don't use tantal caps for C96 and C106 but regular ceramic ones.
