I hope this isnt too off topic but im looking to troubleshoot a 7" IPS screen. Im using it on a PC but i couldent think of a better place to discuss so im hoping here is ok.
https://www.aliexpress.com/i/1005004137807710.html
Anyway it seems to be extrememly temperamental at turning on and im hoping some people here have had experience with this model or a similar one.
The only time i can get it to work is if i spend 10 minutes swapping between 3-4 micro usb cables and multiple power outputs, namely my pc, monitor usb hub, phone charger plug and portable power bank; as well plugging/unplugging the hdmi to my graphic card via 3 hdmi cables.
At some random point it will usually come on and work perfectly. It will then run off any one of the above usb/hdmi/power combinations. It will also come back on instantly if unplugged for a few minutes. If left unpowered for a long while it will again refuse to power up.
I assumed it was a power problem but having two usb plugged into it (power socket and touch screen socket) dont seem to help it power on and i also used some 5v transformers rated for 2amps and 3amps and still had the same problem of not powering up.
When powered up giving the usb ports and hdmi a good hard jiggle does not break signal in anyway so they are not playing up.
Stumped! Any advice?

I tried a new cable and switched the HDMI ports. It works for a while and randomly either shuts off or sometimes I get a blue screen with no video but only get audio from the same channel. At that point, I power the box off and turn on and it continues with audio and videoIt doesnt load portal again but continues.
