My solution to Auto Power ON Lilliput screen

So you didnt solder anything then??

Nope. I used about a .5 cm wide, 4'' long strip of strong clear tape and just carefully wrapped the button a bunch of times real tight while it was depressed. Now it turns on with the power source. To turn it off press any of the other buttons and it turns off. Atleast I believe they had that effect. I don't use them because my buttons are covered up. To go back to original, I can just take the tape off the button.

Interesdting approach, why not just solder it though?

Saw two posts asking if this works with the 8" TS. Any one do it yet? Curious to see if anyone responds by tomorrow. Guess I will open mine up tomorrow and compare with the instruction pic. If it is different then I will post a pic and see if anyone can figure things out for me.

Hi,

@ d_sellers1

what is about your 8"?? Have you already done it? I would like to do it as well.

I haven't yet. I'm afraid that I will damage the ribbon cable inside. Then I would be without a screen until I could get another one.

I painted the 8" case, a few months ago, took away the Touchscreen (glare).
It was complete taken apart. No (big) Problem with any ribbon cable, haha... but: The ribbon cable has about 20 pins/males, but the hole has 21 females.
Unbelievable!!! I had to take the cable on one side, and it worked again.
I didn´t see that, when i took it apart.
I could do it in a few days again and take pictures.

I have a NewIsion 7" tft touchcreen. It looks like the lilliput.
But are the connections the same ?
I mean, can i do this trick also with my screen ?

I hope so, i'm searched a long time for this trick..

Oh goodness!

First things first... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

On to the important stuff. I was getting ready to start this mod... reviewing everything I needed to procure, etc... and I looked at my Lilli circuit board (in horror when I realized how GD small those resistors are in real life) when I realized my board is slightly different. There are five resistors on my board (on the right-hand side in the pic below) versus the four in Coyote's original pic. Anyone have any advice? Will this mod work on this circuit board? Has anyone tried it?

All advice is greatly appreciated!
