You know, I think you're right!  I haven't opened up the case to try loosening screws, but I pushed gently around the edges of the LCD from the outside and it did seem to improve things.  I'll see if I can dig up `Configuration.h` later today.

# "Missing" rows on 64x128 LCD after flashing Marlin 1.1.9 onto Monoprice Maker Select v2

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-12-09)

I've successfully flashed Marlin 1.1.9 onto a Melzi v3.5 board (the stock board for my Monoprice Maker Select v2 (v2.1?, a white-labelled Wanhao i3 Duplicator).

Initially after the flash succeeded the LCD displayed was "garbled". The right side, in particular, had lots of pixels out of place. I was able to resolve this by experimenting with some delay variables. Prior to the flash the LCD was 100 % working; to my knowledge no damage happened while I had the machine apart.

Here's my changes to `Configuration.h` from Marlin 1.1.9, excluding anything to do with X/Y/Z/E, etc (irrelevant stuff).

```
#define MOTHERBOARD BOARD_MELZI
#define SDSUPPORT
#define REVERSE_ENCODER_DIRECTION

//
// LCD for Melzi Card with Graphical LCD
//
#define LCD_FOR_MELZI

// Increase delays to fix garbled LCD
#define ST7920_DELAY_1 DELAY_NS(0)
#define ST7920_DELAY_2 DELAY_NS(100)
#define ST7920_DELAY_3 DELAY_NS(200)

```

The display is much better, however there are about 4x rows of pixels through center of the display running left to right that *mostly* don't display. There are little sections--perhaps 20x pixels (maybe 3%) that do appear to be displaying.
