Trying to reuse this screen for a project I'm working on (yes I know I can buy another display for cheap, but I hate to waste a perfectly good display that I already have) but I am having difficulty tracking down a datasheet or even just a pin out

The text is "2.4HYDIS171+9325 24PIN", but I've tried searching it 6 ways to Sunday and nothing useful comes up.

I do know that the matching pin out should have the LED anode pin on pin 1, LED K/GND on pin 2 and VCC 3.3v on pin 3. It's also a 2.4" screen and should be a resolution of 240x320

I've probably gone through a million Alibaba listings, and while some get close they just miss the mark

If anyone could help me out that'd be amazing!

My experience is that displays and display drivers are usually very custom, and therefore hard to find breakout boards and even pinouts for.

So I wouldn't get my hopes up too high, but I am happy you asked, since I am myself a big fan of reusing electronics :)

I'm pretty hopeful, this display is from one of those ultra cheaply made "XXX-in-1" NES on a chip handheld consoles. So chances are there's very little customized and they just grabbed cheap mass produced displays driven by common controllers like ST7789
