@revk my EPD got dropped and the display has stopped updating. The web interface still responds fine, and it looks like something's been knocked out on the back where it says OR47 3R. Is it likely to be repairable or is it new display time?

@josh Tricky, these early boards had a large inductor soldered on and it is a bit sideways - is that what mean or something else. I can't make out the mark on the right though. Did it get physically bashed - i guess if dropped? The inductor does look chipped even. May be a bit of soldering will fix.But yes, that circle is display driver power, so if broken it stops display working.Also, new board seems fine until you try to remove the old board from the panel - I am not sure what solvents.

@revk that's fantastic, thank you! Would you like some sort of token of gratitude? I understand you enjoy whiskies?
