Was powering up my SSD1306 from an Arduino NANO with the SSD1306 display wired 5v - Vcc , gnd - gnd ,SLC - A5 ,SAD-A4 . It worked using the Arduino adafruit example in the Arduino IDE 1.8.15 showing the display as expected. I loaded a new sketch to my ide and it didn't work, didn't change anything. I reloaded the example and still no display, replaced the OLED and it worked.
My curiosity got to me so I decided to look further, there is a voltage regulator on the back of the unit (662K) which I determined that it is a 5v regulator with a 3.3 v output .I powered up again and measured the voltage ,indeed 5v on center pin with respect to bottom left and 3v on lower right pin with respect to gnd also. I then checked to see if for some reason that the select link may be the issue and it showed 4.68K ohms so that is good. I then went and checked the D1 diode and it had 2.68v on diode test , reversed leads gave me .56v. Other than caps and resistors for the display , which I did not test can some one tell me what may be wrong with it. I know ,just simply replace the OLED but would like to know why this is happening,Thanks
