That’s weird: they can deliver to Switzerland with only 5 CHF of delivery. It should be good to France too I think… Otherwise, check this one. It’s a bit more expensive. But I was able to deliver it without any additional cost :) Link here: https://de.aliexpress.com/i/1005005389582535.html...

Hi ! Each screen is different. To find how to wire the VGA to your screen, you have to test the continuity with a multimeter between the board and the VGA pin on the connector to know which pin is red, which one is blue, etc. Here is a pinout of a VGA female connector: To be honest, I’m not sure...
