ILI9163c broken

Hello,
Recently I bought 2x 1.44" lcd tft displays, and I think one of them is broken but I am not sure.
The screen looks almost white when looking right from the top, and there is a line of blue pixel in the middle of the screen that upears after uploading the code, but before all the screen is white and its ok.
the other display is working as expected. is it broken, or something fixable?

thank you for ANY help,
Arad.

Most Red pcb 128x128 are ILI9163. Some are ST7735.

Are the pcb identical?

Have you tried using ST7735 library? Or tried reading the ID.

Hi David and thank you for the reply.
I am sure I'm using the correct library. as I said, I have 2 of them, and one is working as expected. the problem is with the other display. the biggest problem is the blue line on the display. when I am powering the display everything is white. when I am running the code on one display there is a blue line, and on the other on ethere isn't.

Which ILI9163 library are you using? The Library Manager will tell you the version.

if you plug one and it is working but not the other one, then it must be broken.

those things are so cheap on ebay I always get a few extra when buying just in case.
