I have been working on a project with the transparent OLED display and the esp32 thing plus. Everything was working fine, but about 3 days in, the display was displaying an odd line of pixels that would not turn off. I was wondering if it might be something in my code, so I loaded up the test program, and they were still there. I also noticed that sometimes during this test there would be a high-pitched noise coming from the display. I unplugged the qwiic connector and then plugged it in again to no avail. I then unplugged the display from its board and plugged that in again, and it now just does not display at all. The power LED sporadically turns on and off.
I do not see anything that is obviously broken. I tried searching google and these forums for anyone with the same problem, but could not find anyone. I probably did something wrong, but I can not figure out what. The only thing I can think of was that I had it plugged into power for a long time before I noticed it (about 24 hours). It was not a static image though, so I do not see how that could have damaged it.
Additional information:
I was using this display before and it worked fine, but I was stupid and had the cable at an odd angle, and it shorted and started to heat up. Then I noticed that the wire had come undone from the display, so I ordered a new one. This is the replacement I got.
