Micro OLED Breakout Display does not turn on in I2C mode when running example code provided.

Hi all, I am enquiring based on this product: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/mi … -guide/all

More Importantly, I have configured the display in I2C mode as shown in this image, let me provide a picture of my setup and the connection with Arduino UNO.

Hi Everyone! I tried soldering on a new Micro OLED in I2C mode:

Heres the image: https://ibb.co/51BGzgk

So since the d/c jumper is set to 0 here, i changed the code above to #define DC_JUMPER 1 accordingly, and the set up is the same as what I did before but the oled does not display still.

Here is my connection of arduino UNO to Micro OLED breakout display:

Arduino UNO to Micro OLED breakout

3.3v to 3v3 (pin label of micro oled)

GND to GND

A4 to D1(SDI)

A5 to D0(SCK)

9 to RST
