TinyZero Smartwatch Screen stops working

[Cryptoxic]

Hi all, I recently ran into an issue where my tinyscreen stopped working all of a sudden. My TinyZero is fine as it could be detected by my computer and I could upload the blink sketch. But when I connect the tinyscreen and load the tinyscreen example, the screen stays black. My screen has not been touched for a week and previously, it worked just fine. Now when I come back to start tinkering with it, the screen does not work anymore. Can anyone help me?

Hey there,

Since the screen is made of glass, it's not unbreakable and a small crack could prove to be fatal for the screen if there is any chance it was damaged.

Cryptoxic,

Were you able to get the TinyScreen working?

I also had this problem. The watch screen worked for some time but stopped working completely. I went through the same steps to test the connection to my computer and the ability to load the correct sketches. The screen still blinks when I press the buttons but the screen will not display. It has been an amount of time since I originally bought the kit so, I'd be fine with buying another.

Have you tried the original example for the TinyScreen from the getting started tutorial? https://learn.tinycircuits.com/Display/TinyScreen_TinyShield_Tutorial/

The screen does not display due to a malfunction of the computer system.
