Screen not turning on after recent update

[hereiszee]

After updating a Tlora-v1 to V2.0.2.8146e84 beta, screen does not turn on.

Device is working as visible in logs, and is sending packets—screen does not display any data.

This is especially an issue as i cannot pair the device to my machine and/or phone without the display code.

This is occurring on two devices, not an isolated issue for me

Do you see the screen being detected in the bootup log?

I'll try to dig up the schematics, but the board definition was not touched in ages. On some boards the oled must be powered specifically. Can you confirm the last working firmware version please?

[hereiszee]

Thank you! Last working was 1.2.something.

Prior version didn’t need specific power I believe. I’ll also try booting an older version.

[hereiszee]

In addition, board lights do not turn on.

[caveman99]

Are you positively sure this is a version 1.0 board? 2 pushbuttons, antenna on a ipex pig tail attached right next to the oled?

[caveman99]

Cause lights not turning on sounds like a wrong board definition.

[hereiszee]

Correction, it is not a v1 board. 3 buttons, see attached photo.

User error in that case? I used detect device to flash appropriate firmware.

[hereiszee]

Fixed issue, this was user error! Accidentally selected wrong device firmware.
