first of all I know you don't support anything on these displays but it is only a small question and it is a matter of dead or alive (for the display at least...)

I soldered the thing and when I connect it to the computer I immediately saw something was wrong ... checked... nothing, checked again... nothing (well you know the works) tried with another display... worked fine...
Then I checked on the display itself and I saw that the thing on position C4 (that is right under the connectors, so on the back top right) (I am not an electronic guy so I really don't know the name for it...) and I saw it is broken... I know I cannot return it to you but could you tell me what the thing is so I can try to solder a spare part on it?

thank you very much....

I believe it's a .15uF 0805 SMT capacitor you'll want to replace it with.

A Digi-key search for a general purpose capacitor with those specifications will get you one, likely.

Then you'll just need to solder it on.

Have fun.

thnx....

hey... me again... I've tried looking for these smd-capacitor but I only find a 50 V one... is that OK or will it not work with that?? I am assuming that I should have something close to 5 V as that is the operation voltage of the LCD....
btw, what is the 0805 code standing for???

The 50v rating won't hurt. The voltage rating of a capacitor just has to be higher than the actual voltage at which the capacitor is used.
