Bye

Hi,

There are a special note in Sparkfun site:

Special Note:
We noticed that the latest shipment of LCD screens are more sensitive to noise on the power supply. The booster circuit introduces some noise that causes the display to flicker, changing brightness randomly. To suppress this noise so that the display does not flicker, the included 100uF capacitor can be soldered between GND and Vdsp of Header 2. (watch polarity on the cap!). If you are not using the booster circuit, the cap might not be needed. This cap will be included on futrure versions of this board, we just wanted to get these out now!

Bye
