turd 31 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I've got an OLED screen that looks like the one in the 43oh OLED Booster Pack (except for the top strip is a different colour. Any chance that it would work the same? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turd 31 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Never mind, I totally wrecked it trying to desolder it lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You might be lucky.. For my initial tests.. I had the same OLED.. Yellow on top, blue on the bottom. Edit: Bummer.. a good way to desolder it is to heat from one side with a blob of solder and peel. GeekDoc 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

turd 31 Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 Thanks for the tip I might buy another one and try again. I was a little hasty and used the soldering gun :oops: Are they easy to use(once mounted)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bluehash 1,581 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Are they easy to use(once mounted)? You mean the code? Yes.. you can use the one from The Terminal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 You could also heat the PCB with a heat gun (paint stripper) from the opposite side of the display. Sure, you'll cook the PCB but you won't cook the display. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turd 31 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 I think I'll try again in a couple weeks. I can get them cheaper then I payed about $7 for the phone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
