Hi guys
I'm struggling with similar kind of problem with similar but only 5" I2C-display I bought from same place you bought yours.

Have you tried it via I2C ? I've found'em (lcd and touch panel) from the bus, addresses are 0x6 and 0x7 but I haven't had any other response yet.
So far I've tried with this kind of code to wake it up:
#include <Wire.h>
#define REG_01 0x01
#define LCD_ADDRESS 0x06 (or 0x07)
#define value1 0x80
void setup()
{
Wire.begin();
delay(100);
Wire.beginTransmission(LCD_ADDRESS);
Wire.write(REG_01);
Wire.endTransmission();
Wire.beginTransmission(LCD_ADDRESS);
Wire.write(value1);
Wire.endTransmission();
delay(100);
}
void loop()
{
}
Best Regards

PS. I removed R1 and changed jumpers like it says it the datasheet "I2C interface: J9, J12, J13, J15 leaves open and J10, J11, J14, J16 leaves short; R1 = 0R, R2 = 10K, R3 = 10K" except R1 is open 'cos another pad was destroyed by too warm soldering iron tip :-[ and I left J15 untouched 'cos I wanted to control backlight by external connection instead of PWM.
