VR1: 10kohms potentiometer BURNING ?

[freshworks]

Hi,

Standalone SD version!

does somebody knows why my VR1:
10kohms potentiometer is burning (melting) , it's 10ohm / 10%

Can i make a shortcut, so it does'nt use the potmeter ?

Using 9V 400mA

Cheers,
Jasper

because you must have a 10Kohms (10000ohms) potentiometer, not a 10ohms.

is a shortcut possible, cause i don't have a 10Kohm potmeter over here ?

Thanks and i'am so sorry

lcd contrast potis shpould be smaller (2,2kohm) but use 4,7-8,4 on vcc path leading to it
