ok i have found something, the white screen bug seems to appear not just on voice change but also in other places in the GUI...

i have noticed GUI glitches that occur when operating buttons and pots... the screen brightness pulses a little whilst pressing buttons / pots and quickly appearing GUI glitches appear over the screen...

I have made a video to demonstrate this for you... watch the screen as i repeatedly press button to see the glitches and you can also the white screen at the end.

hope this helps!

Xavier:

Thanks for the zip file and the video.
It does not come from the DX7 files.

That really looks like a communication problem between the CPU and the display that can come from  several things.
So I have several questions :

1. When the screen is white, can you try to hold down the "Menu" button for one or 2 seconds untill it goes black then release. It reinits the display. Does the screen come back after that ?

2. Can you try the firmware in the attached zip :
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BDWWxVl31jN6005eECzhV845tw332e40/view?usp=sharing
It uses a slower clock to send data to the display.
Is it better, the same or worse ?

3. Can you double check all the display soldering point ?

4. Does it still glitch when you lightly press the bottom border of the display without touching the pins ?

5. Can you share the display exact reference ?

Thanks

Looks like this is the problem  :-[

I've destroyed the tiny resistor next to the display header..

Xavier:
This is a 100nF decoupling capacitor.
It's between the ground and the 5v. You can remove it completely and it should work, but don't leave it like this as it could make a shorcut.
You can also solder a regular (Through hole)  100nF cap if you have that between the 2 pins.

I'm not sure that can be the reason.

Can you try at least point 1 & 2 from the list above ?

YES it returns to normal

How to flash this firmware, its not a *.dfu?


3. Can you double check all the display soldering point ?

Yes seems fine apart from that 100nF cap issue  :-[


4. Does it still glitch when you lightly press the bottom border of the display without touching the pins ?

No change when pressed


5. Can you share the display exact reference ?
