Q. What is going on with the backlight on this? Data is via the standard 14 pin connector, there are no pins for the backlight. There is one, I now have it lit, but I had to wire it up directly onto the LED with a current limiting resistor. There are a lot of unpopulated components around the backlight section. Not sure what the plan was, but it's not ideal having to bodge power to the backlight .
A. Hi Dave. Thank you for your question. The backlight is powered directly onto the led via a resistor. The manufacturer states exactly that the same board is used for their OLED screens and the missing components are fitted only on the OLED versions. See the data sheet for backlight information.
