Hi, just trying to ascertain if this is a common fault so yes would confirm.
Thanks

Is what a common fault? You gave no useful information. GIGO.

I've been around on this forum a while and I've not heard of this, so I guess not. Have you tried the Adafruit forum?

I think I've sorted it thank you, they seem very sensitive and don't like dupont connectors so changed to xh. Vibration I recon!

Everything is sensitive to Dupont connectors, because Dupont connectors are so unreliable! I'm sure the original ones made by Dupont were better, but everyone uses the cheap Chinese-made ones these days.

DuPont probably use copper female pins and copper wire, and are very reliable as any copper, female pin.

The cheap knockoffs use copper coated steel or copper coated aluminum. Both a breading ground for galvanic corrosion.
