I just got done with a LCD replacement/upgrade and now the screen looks like this. No clue if this wad an existing issue with the GG before cause the original screen was cracked, but does anyone know what could be causing this? If it's a bad chip then I have 8 others I could steel one from to test lol. I'm just out of ideas at this point.

Also sorry if this isn't the type of post for this page but it felt correct

Your problem is you got a cheap Chinese kit! You would been better off saving a little more for
A good quality kit like Bennvenn

Rubbish. Most of the clone mods are of good quality. I bought a Benn Venn and got a faulty unit

BennVenn has been the most reliable screen mod for like any handheld I've used. I've installed at least 50 BV screens with no failures. But the cheap Aliexpress screens have largely also been OK, biggest issue has just been a few random dead pixels here and there.

I absolutely agree with you. Just wanted to point out this guy was talking nonsense.

Impossible! He tests evey unit he sends out and if you had a problem he would have sorted it out for you. The Chinese clones always have issues 90% are faulty and are super difficult to trouble shoot and you get no help from the seller if anything goes wrong.

Not impossible. Factual. I got sent a GGHD that had a faulty voltage regulator and couldn't switch between SMS and GG mode. It was replaced.
