Helegaly Action Pi Screen Stretch? Gamma Has a Fix! 🚀
So, remember the hype around the Helegaly Action Pi? It had a little screen quirk – a row of stretched pixels. Helegaly delayed launch because of it, but now there’s good news! Gamma has cracked the code and created a firmware fix.
Here’s the lowdown:
- The Problem: The Action Pi’s screen was displaying a row of stretched pixels.
- The Solution: Gamma developed a modified firmware that shifts the display timings – from 960×720 to 961×720. 🛠️
- What You Need:
- Windows Computer 💻
- USB Cable 🔌
- Helegaly Action Pi (at least 20% battery)
- PhoenixSuit (download)
- Gamma’s Modified Firmware (download)
Important Note: This process wipes* your device, so BACKUP EVERYTHING first! Removing your microSD card is also a smart move.
- Complex but doable: There’s a detailed flashing process which includes holding buttons and using PhoenixSuit. Check the article for the full step-by-step.
- Future Proofing: There’s a slight worry Helegaly might release an official update that undoes the fix. 🤞
