Pringles tube, long time ago. More recently caught our eldest trying to smoke an unground bud in a bus ticket which was pretty funny.

The Dunning-Kruger curve of one's career is composed of many smaller Dunning-Kruger curves, one for each project. A Dunning-Kruger harmonic superposition if you like.

@piratesoftware.live has a really good short YouTube video on this topic, I don't have a link handy but if you can find it he gives great advice and has a wealth of experience.

Nothing novel about this, it's just where I live at. Also applies to non-funny posts :)

Absolutely, the manufacturers themselves often get this stuff wrong in documentation also. The lesson I've learned is: always get a sample if you can :)

Is there any change if you rotate the jacks in their sockets? It's very common for these to stop working because of dust/dirt.

In my experience this sort of behaviour suggests a loose connection at either end of the wire, or if you're using solid core it may be broken internally. As David says it could be a lot of things.

I'd start by replacing caps 218, 219 and 243 but there may be some damage to the pads, could just be surface corrosion.

Sounds like a loose connector or solder joint on the edge you're applying pressure, rather than a bad cap. Depending on the specific display model, your ability level, and how much it's worth to you; this may be repairable by reseating or resoldering the connection. God speed fellow tech warrior!

It looks a little overdone round the edges there, but judging by the headers and usb port I'd wager it was a small microcontroller board, maybe for an ATTiny or similar.
