I Damaged My Lilygo T-BEAM OLED... So Time To Fit A New One!

I use my LilyGO T-Beam LoRa APRS tracker daily in the supplied plastic case that it was shipped in, which I have slightly modified. At the end of each day, I remove the 18650 battery for charging. Recently, I handled the device a bit too roughly and unfortunately damaged the screen. There are now visible lines at the top of the display where my Callsign and symbol are shown. While this does not currently affect the operation of the unit, I am concerned that the issue could worsen over time, so I would like to repair it. I previously purchased a 3D-printed case from eBay; however, it does not fully accommodate the T-Beam, GPS module, and battery together. When looking for a replacement OLED display, I initially ordered one from eBay that was advertised as compatible with the T-Beam. Unfortunately, when it arrived, the VCC and GND pins were in the wrong positions. I subsequently ordered another display from AliExpress, which turned out to be the correct OLED module. The repair itself was slightly fiddly, as overheating the pins could potentially damage the traces on the PCB. However, I was able to complete the replacement successfully, and the tracker is now working as it did before. #hamradio #lilygo #aprs #433mhz #diyelectronics
