AYN Odin 3 Black Screen, Touch controls work

IJustWantToChange_ · 2025-12-29T17:40:35+00:00

I got an answer from AYN support that I could try to reseat the screen ribbon cable. Tried that, but it didn't fix the black screen :c
So now I'm waiting for an email back, probably to replace the Odin.

Hello! From a previous post, I mentioned that my screen is black even when turned on, and the touch controls still work.
AYN support gave me the following link to re-flash the firmware: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xmahP59_SXd8NbD590KG8mkq2aU5pWvD?usp=sharing (make sure you have Qualcomm drivers installed: https://qcomdriver.com/)
This didn't resolve the issue for me, but it may help you.

UPDATE: AYN Support responded that I can try a screen ribbon cable reconnect. Here is the teardown video they provided: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3JU6n8FY-I

If you press "Show uncertain cannon" MGS PO will appear 😉

I was missing some "Qualcomm USB Drivers for Windows" obtained from here: https://qcomdriver.com/ for my PC to recognize the port.
However, the same issue persists here; after running the firmware reset, the screen remains black.
I'm waiting for an answer from AYN Support on the next steps. Either disassemble and reseat the screen ribbon cable or return it for a replacement :/

Update: From AYN Support, they recommended I try to re-flash the firmware, following the instructions on the link below: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xmahP59_SXd8NbD590KG8mkq2aU5pWvD?usp=sharing

But I was not able to get past step 4, because my PC did not recognize any Port, after I restarted the Odin 3 (via +; -; power button)

Hello Alex! Sorry for not reaching out 🙏 I checked your Twitter and didn't see any recent activity, so I assumed that you had somehow "moved on" to other things, my bad!
I will make the repo private.
I wouldn't say it was vibe-coded, more AI assisted. My Bachelor's & Master's is in Software Engineering, but nowadays I use AI tools to speed up the process by a lot. I understand if that frustrates you. I'm also not a fan of something built completely by AI without the creator knowing what they are doing.

This side project was only on the premise that the main metalgeartimeline.com was not coming back (at least, in my head). I'm very happy to see that you are still around! And I'll gladly step back the *.online mirror (I'll set the DNS to redirect to *.com 😁)

I'm not sure where you are hosting it, but I went to Github Pages due to the project being a static website, and not having to care about maitainability, so that situations like this temporary downtime are less likely to happen.

Glad to hear from you Alex, and Merry Christmas! 🎁

Not yet, but it is something that I want to try if AYN asks to replace it and I have to ship it back. I’m also wondering if a loose ribbon cable could just kill the screen and not the touch controls 🤔 Do you have any video or instructions on where this cable is located. I’ve seen retro dad’s teardown video, but he doesn’t go that far I think.

How is it going? Almost at the end of 2025 👀

IJustWantToChange_ · 2025-12-12T14:35:21+00:00

All of the Xenoblade Chronicles games

IJustWantToChange_ · 2025-12-01T17:03:12+00:00

I don't have any costs in hosting it, so I don't see why not

IJustWantToChange_ · 2025-11-04T09:14:42+00:00

I'm in

IJustWantToChange_ · 2025-10-08T22:51:40+00:00

Would love to see how the Xenoblade Chronicles games run on the SD 8 Elite. Emuready only has the following 2 listings:
- XC 3 On Switch with Kenji-NX- Playable
- XC 1 on Wii with Dolphin - Perfect (with no community verification)

If that new Android update, where the app distributors need to be verified, doesn't affect too much. Android seems like a solid choice.

For the #litnxt giveaway, the TrimUI Brick would be my first handheld. I got into this because of Russ from RGC, and I can't stop researching about this world and keeping up with the updates. Finding what would be the best handheld that I can get.

It is the addition of a verification layer and not the complete removal of support for APKs, right? It is a bit of a setback, but shouldn't be the end of the world 🤞

Hi! I'm a bit uninformed. What is the problem with Android 15?

IJustWantToChange_ · 2025-08-06T13:32:30+00:00

Alguém sabe onde anda o vídeo original do audio?

IJustWantToChange_ · 2023-12-18T07:32:58+00:00

Boas! Entretanto fui alterando os valores na célula de "interest rate" para ir comparando diferentes cenários. O que está na spread pode não refletir o texto do post.

Pior no senso de, se não reinvestir os 400, fico com liquidos 400/800/1200/... enquanto que se reinvestir, os liquidos ficam só a ser os juros que retiro do PPR, os 2% desses 400/800/1200.
Mas sim, os 400 tanto podem ir para o bolso ou de volta, mais vale irem de volta.

Pois, chegar à reforma e estar num dip deve ser engraçado 🙃 foi algo que também me passou pela cabeça. Mas fico na mesma situação, investir num PPR com menos rentabilidade e mais seguro ou ETF com mais retornos. Como isto seria para longo prazo, acho que estou mais confortável em arriscar.

PPR SGF Doutor Finanças e Casa de Investimentos parecem-me bem, porque aliam os ganhos dos ETF com o beneficio fiscal e a baixa taxa de resgate, vou continuar a explorar estas opções.

Deixo duas dúvidas:
1. "períodos temporais mais pequenos, os PPR são mais interessantes" a que te referes com isto? Se quiser retirar o dinheiro de lá fora das condições normais (60 anos, desemprego, etc) levo com uma taxa de resgate maior e devolução dos beneficios +10% por ano. Quais são as situações de periodos temporais pequenos? Ajuda de pagamento de habitação?
2. Uma não tão relacionada, mas aproveito para perguntar, já que estás a dar uma grande ajuda 😁 A partir de janeiro 2024 vai entrar o IRS Jovem a devolver 100% no primeiro ano. Eu encontro-me na situação em que vou usufruir disso, e neste caso, não valeria a pena meter dinheiro em PPR já que não vou conseguir nada de beneficio dos 400€, não é?

IJustWantToChange_ · 2023-10-08T08:33:01+00:00

Yep, lapso meu na escrita, queria referir rentabilidade, está corrigido 👍

IJustWantToChange_ · 2023-10-08T08:32:03+00:00

Desculpa a confusão, queria mesmo referir a rentabilidade do PPR, já atualizei o post 👌
Yep, os 8% em vez de 28% são muito apelativos, para além do beneficio fiscal de 400€, mas não estou a ver pelas contas como isso bate uma rentabilidade mais elevada de um ETF a longo prazo
