Re: [N8VEM-S100:5278] TIL311 displays for S100-IDE board

Ian -

Those are horrid, except for testing, I wouldn't use them at all.

You'd do a service to the list if you posted the seller so we can also 
avoid!

I'd suggest you don't post negative feedback on ebay until the seller 
makes good.  Once you post feedback the seller has far less incentive to 
settle.  I've also found that sellers try and pressure you to resolve 
the case immediately - tell them that if they post a refund you can 
resolve the case, otherwise you'll need to receive your replacement 
parts first.

I purchased 10pc TIL311 from Adeleparts2010, they were obviously used 
and a few were damaged.  Like yours, there weren't like the posted picture.

A second batch from hkjtsource were fresh, clean stock and well packed - 
highly recommended source.
