Emax

It's just that for a novice like me, though good at soldering, I have to rely on the info that was posted here which is a little disjointed.  There's no other info online elsewhere on this procedure and I'm not a tech to figure the rest out.

I'd be willing to pay someone to fix it, I just hope nothing else was burned up in the process because now the front panel buttons are not responsive.  LEDs light up when turned on but nothing happens when I press a function button.  Overall, I'm really a bit frustrated so my apologies if I come off a little crass.

I see the ground and +5 on the Emax LED board but the spacing on the new display seems a bit wider than the original. Do I have to solder the pins on the new display and bend them to fit the Emax board?
