Bad parts in a kit?

I’ve got a kit on the bench called a MAKERbuino, and it’s been kicking around the shop for a while. I started building it a few days ago (videos on that will come later) and discovered something. The kit has a bad display.
Initially, it didn’t do anything, but then it started to flicker and come to life. Hitting it with a little heat will make it work for a while, but it’s very unreliable.
I’ve reached out to the manufacturer to see if they can provide a new part. If not, this is a Nokia display on a slightly different form factor, so something has to be out there.
Stay tuned!
