3.5" LCD won't work with Fan Shim

Support

Here’s a great solution.

  1. Drill 2 tiny holes into the fan connector, on its side, at the very bottom on the connector. (The holes are the width of the pins and drill them all the way thru the connector)
  2. Insert the fan connector “sideways” onto pins 2 and 3, it will stick out instead of up, but it will make the electrical connection and it only takes up a few mm of space when mounted sideways.
  3. Add the LCD on top, lots of pin real-estate is left.

Works! :-)
