I want to reinstalling and it still gave me the error  
Used Groc and it told me to use the previous version of (something or other, I don’t remember)  
Now it works, however, the OLED screen will not stay lit. It turns off, and when I tap on the case, it will light back up, but then go back off..  
I opened up the box and re-seated the ribbon cable, but it didn’t make any difference. I think the OLED is bad.

This is normal behavior.  
The pironman5 max case has a timeout sleep function for the OLED screen in this version. Our software has a default timeout sleep time of 10 seconds. When you tap the case, the OLED screen will light up. This design is intended to protect the OLED screen.  
The onboard vibration switch is used to wake the sleeping OLED. If you do not need the sleep function, you can disconnect this jumper cap and set the sleep time to 0.  
To modify the timeout sleep command:  
sudo pironman5 -os

I wish there was some documentation for this on the installation instructions I spent a lot of time fussing with it, trying to get it to work and thought I had a bad screen

Additionally, our software has been updated to version 1.2.15.
