3" pustom video problem

[neverused]

I just got my brand new 3" Pustom screen in the mail and the video has decided to stop working. I plugged in the the audio and video right to the screen and the screen showed bright white at first. Then all of the sudden the screen went black and now only the audio works, though the screen and backlight will come to life and turn bright white randomly. I've tried the ribbon cable, but that shouldn't have affected the backlight, which is now off. I had ~9V going into the screen and according to LoB's post in the reference section, that should be just fine. crap, crap, crap. Does anyone have any suggestions, or am I going to have to fight with DX about a cheap screen?

thanks

thats what happened to one of my 2.5" pustoms, except now instead of black i sometimes get static, but i treated my 1st pustom screen pretty poorly, as in i found out where to put what in terms of audio, video power etc by trial and error

It seems that I'm screwed then. Cheap piece of Chinese junk... anyone else have a suggestion for a screen about 3", preferably with an audio amp?

I wouldn't be surprised you're frying everything because you find power and ground by trial and error. It's a great way to damage stuff.
