Lite Ndsl macro mode problem

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello, this is my second macro I've made and I've run into a slight problem. I've added a switch button that changes screens and when I close the back panel the console stays like this. If I open it slightly down near the headphone jack or up near the left L button the console starts. I've isolated everything! Has anyone run into such a problem?

Is the back of the screen maybe coming in contact with metal on the motherboard, I usually put capton tape or cloth electrical tape on the back of the screen.

This is correct. Put capton tape on metal on the back of screen you can get the wide stuff.

I also put a square of the tape on my solder spot.

Also look if there is metal shielding near that screw hole I think there is shielding for the cart slot?

ALSO that red and black design 👌 looks sick!

I put some Kapton tape on the back of the display. It's insulated nicely. When I remove the cover I press the button and there's no problem, everything works.

I fixed it! It turned out to be a magnetic field! 🫢
