Is your spare display working well?

I'll have my replacement screen from Ali next week (after a good month of waiting), we'll see if it has any of the black corners, probably will, as my original one had 2 of them.

Replaced the screen, well it has 2 defective corners....too bad but at least it's not broken anymore.

Crazy how most of the batch this is from is probably also busted. Welp I gotta make sure I don't break it again. lol

At this point I am just waiting for someone to make a flip with actual headphone jack. (since I like the benefits of a clam in size)

But nobody is willing to make one...I honestly don't get the obsession with dust and waterproofing, especially the latter. So yeah until then this old boi needs to hang in there.

But interesting discovery that they aren't really totally black, when looking carefully. Hhere from flashing Linux.

Interesting, on my original screen the corners were purely perma black, no amount of brigthness did anything with them. The replacement screen is similar to your defect, a little bit of stuff is visible, like it has that black layer on top of it but the pixels are still toast for the most part.
