Please read the page information here - https://synthstrom.com/product/oled-retrofit-deposit/
It says "We will start accepting deposits from 3pm, Sept 10th, EDT (GMT-4) This will appear βout of stockβ till then."
I always imagined someone would create a hack using a phone as an external lcd screen for the delugeβ¦. But this small little oled screen is even better since itβs integrated. Thank you Synthstrom.
It is 3 mins till we are supposed to be able to order the screen update and we have crashed the website with all the traffic! Good response it seems and good luck to all!

(I'm really excited for the OLED retrofit. Hugops to the webhost for dealing with the fact that so many of us are also excited.)
I knew this would happen hahaha. I understand the idea of trying to be fair but I guess it wouldn't have hurt the servers to not point all people to an exact time and make them crash the website and instead just let the retrofit option go online quietly
Ok. Back to the drawing board. This plan didn't work.
Even if I manage to get back in, I'm not going to take sales from today for it as unfair to those who tried already.
We're not even doing these till November, so we'll take a few days to work out how to get this queue working better.
I'm sorry to everyone who set alarms and has done irreparable damage to their refresh finger.
We'll make an announcement of a new roll out, and try to cause less panic next time, cos there is no need to panic.
We'll be offering this service for the foreseeable, just obviously we know many are going to want as soon as possible. I will structure a better system with more explanation of the various processes.

So you have to wait for the time as stated
Is it possible to combine a refresh service with the display update when sending it in to a European / UK repair shop?
No, I don't think you did. It says the following on the page where you can put your deposit down on the retrofit:

Crazy, man. Bad Gateway when trying to connect to the main site and the OLED upgrade, but I can get in here directly. Fun stuff!

Seeing as we crashed it before 3, I assume they haven't been able to log in to update it π
[ insert exploding-head emoji here ]
can we just reserve a spot here? page isn't working.
Haha, or we could just wait :P
to be honest I even put a reminder in my calendar like for a medical appointment
I knew this would happen hahaha. I understand the idea of trying to be fair but I guess it wouldn't have hurt the servers to not point all people to an exact time and make them crash the website and instead just let the retrofit option go online quietly
Well, poop. I know it'll happen. I just hope the timing works out.

Whoa, loaded as out of stock for a second there
omg, no chance. This website was down for an hour for me. I guess that's it? No retrofit spot left?
Well, the GOOD news is that I have some time to find the right packing materials, since I don't have the original shipping stuff.
Haha, no I'm sure it's just that they haven't had a chance to update the website yet. I'm sure there's plenty available
No, you'll be fine. They won't run out of upgrades. It's just a time lottery now, is all. First in, first out, sort of thing.
Congrats for getting the page loading again π
