I got this screen  supposed to be ILI9341  240*320  but just get a white screen on boot up.
running digipi 2.0-1  and selected the 240x320 screen...  any ideas?

that screen wont work with digipi, despite the ili9486 moniker.  If the ili9486 requires the "LCD-show"
driver, in the documentation/website, it's not a standard ili9486.

The Waveshare ili9486 (link from digipi.org) is known to work.

I ordered the waveshare 3.5 inch screen this week from the amazon link provided and received the waveshare 3.5 (B) version 2.0 with instructions inside the box to download the LCD-show driver.  Is there an updated link to a 3.5 inch screen that works with the ili9486 driver?

Thanks!

Thanks for the report - that's disturbing if they swapped products without updating
the amazon page.

The pictures don't seem to have changed, can you confirm if it still shows
the H1063 33 on the PCB as shown in the picture?  different?  I may have
inverted the logic for LCD-show, that might be the required screen, sorry,
they all look the same after a while -- did you give it a try?

The "bad" ili9486, i have here on my desk shows HSD035577D2 on the corner.

working version:

The board I received is numbered H1063 9-1, and the backside of the board looks just like the picture on amazon (below).  It looks like they substituted the IPS B board for the TFT A board.
