The LCD situation is interesting. It's obviously not terrible in the photos above, but it's not perfect either. The seller has been trying (along with the help of his engineer) to make it better. Today he had me remove R13, and jumper J26. That didn't help, so the engineer wants me to increase the resistor values of R1, R2, R4, R5 from 222 to 302. I had to order an 0805 resistor kit since I didn't have that value on hand, but I should have it tomorrow.
