helped a modder to test his DNA 40 batch (probably bought around 30-40 boards). i tested a single DNA 40 board, played around with the menu and test fire, with the utmost intention to test if his batch have the display problem. so after playing with the one i had, there's no such display problem and thus i informed the modder that his batch is most probably the "later batches of DNA 40s are silicone coated in this area, and should not exhibit this problem".
he took my advise but unfortunately when he fully assembled a single mod with one of the DNA 40 boards, it had a display problem
... as a precautionary, i gave him my kapton tape in case his DNA 40 have display problem, to tape the exposed pad under the OLED. so when he informed me his mod have display problem, he then taped the problem area but later informed me that he still experiencing the display problem. currently i'm assuming that maybe he didnt cover the exposed vias properly...
so yeah i'm kinda disappointed of what happened, not happy of the situation of why the board that i tested is working fine but apparently it was a mistake to assume the rest of the batch was supposed to be fine too...
