NIVONA Caferomatica 830 Coffee Machine: Damaged Display Repair, AliExpress Replacement

Best answers

How can I replace the damaged display in a NIVONA Caferomatica 830 with an AliExpress part?

You usually cannot swap in a random AliExpress display: the original module was a special SSD1303T10, and generic substitutes like BL-12864G2 ERNHn/SPD0301 were reported not to fit or to use a different controller [#17062856][#17833740][#18455044] The practical solution that finally worked was to buy an SSD1305/SSD1305Z OLED module from AliExpress and use one of the adapter PCBs developed in the thread; with the reversal fix, it works like the original and no missing-line problem appears [#18305185][#18233157][#18358600] For the J4rek adapter, the tested parts are C1=C3=100nF, C2=4.7uF, U1=SN74AHC1G00DBVR, U2=CD4071BM, and U3=CD4078BM, and the display is soldered directly to the adapter, which then plugs into the machine’s original 20-pin connector [#18959999][#18279191] If you build the simplified version, the TPS61045 stays on the original board; in the full version it is included on the new PCB [#19025589][#18959999]

    Hello,
    I just came across the forum and also have the problem with the barely legible display.
    Can someone install a new white display for me on my original circuit board (for a fee) because I cannot do SMD or ribbon cable soldering.
    I would be grateful for a nice offer via PM!
    greeting

    If there are delivery bottlenecks with the TPS6104, you can also use the TS1935BCX5 as an alternative. Can be exchanged 1: 1 without modification and costs EUR 0.75.

    Welcome everyone,

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I have a few questions if you don't mind.

    I believe I have all the necessary parts to repair my display. However, I do not know what components I need to mount on the J4rek V2 board (C1-3 and U1-3), could someone help me with that?

    It's all described in the PDF file, together with the schematics ("SSD1305 NIVONA V2r1.pdf"):
    C1 = C3 = 100nF/16V
    C2 = 4u7/16V
    U1 = SN74AHC1G00DBVR
    U2 = CD4071BM
    U3 = CD4078BM

    Fiete325 it's nice that you found a replacement but this is SOT23-5, and most of the people who write on the forum or directly to me have a little idea about electronics. Maybe send a picture on the forum how to connect 1: 1 to the TPS61045 VSON soldering points (8) so that everything is clear ;)
    I have not met the TPS61045 damaged. The display was always damaged. I suggest not to combine but to use in my opinion the best solution currently proposed by J4rek https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic3435827-300.html#18635792

    Hello,
    First of all, thank you very much for the great work.
    I assembled three of the boards from j4rek, the first one works perfectly and unfortunately I can't find the fault with the other two.
    With the second I only get "snow" (see picture) and the third flashes briefly with the correct display and is then immediately dark again.
    Maybe someone has an idea what that could be.
    Thank you and best regards
    Tom

    It seems to me that such ailments mainly result from short circuits, under-soldering of some elements and, above all, incorrect soldering of the tps.

    In particular, which version did you use, the entire board or the simplified version? Check carefully the pin connections between the boards on the 20-pin connector. Very often, when desoldering, the vias in the holes fall off and gaps appear between the soldering rings and the tracks. Later soldering only on one side, the tin does not connect the tracks on the other side of the PCB.
    And check if you have a short circuit on the display tape. Did you mix up something while soldering? There is practically no philosophy in soldering the display. Well, unless you inserted the connector instead of soldering it in contact with the tape, look for problems in the connector itself. Many people have problems soldering a connector, e.g. 30 or 32 pin, and the tape hits the pins badly. In addition, the display soldering points themselves are not adapted to such a connector. The tape is too thin and it happens differently with this contact. Give photos from the electronics side.

    In my Nivon, the display went out, so I brought OLED 1305 and made an adapter according to v2 J4rek. The first adapter installed in my coffee machine works perfectly with the new OLED - a big thank you to the forum team for this project.

    I imported a second identical coffee machine from Germany from Ebay - according to the description that sells only display defect, so hopefully I made a second module and installed it.
    How do I connect my first repaired working display to this machine bought from Germany - it displays, but the system shows an error in German: "Aufschäumer einsetzen" {???} - and I'm stuck here, but I have to disassemble it. I moved the coffee and milk outlet from my machine - this is not the source of the problem. The German woman swears that the coffee machine was working until the end, but only the display was dead.

    I decided to repair the second display, from this machine bought in Germany, to start the repair somewhere - and here it is a failure. After replacing the OLED display, soldering and installing - nothing lights up - the display is dead as at the beginning, as if it was not getting power.

    Is there a way to test the power line to be able to take some measurements, or where does the power line begin to find something on the break - now it's as if the display is not getting power or the motherboard is dead. What is the supply voltage for this module?

    Hello,
    the way I understand it, you have a repaired display that works.
    If you install this display in the German machine, the machine starts up and the error message "Set the frother" appears.
    This error message appears when the lower cap (frother)
    is dismantled. There is a magnet in the cap to switch the error message.
    If the machine works with the repaired display, the machine is ok.

    As reported by Rosenkopf. Attach the front lower panel. If that does not help, check the sensor connection. All the displays I had were from Germany. If there were errors after assembly, it was always the fault of a bad solder. Use flux and don't overdo it with tin. Check everything you soldered, especially if you didn't tear the through holes on the 20-pin connector, as I wrote earlier. Do the paths on the bottom side of the PCB from which you soldered the connector definitely have a connection with the connector pins.

    I would like to thank the user of Rosenkopf and Amigos - thanks to you today I regained my humor. In fact, the whole secret of this mystery of mine was only that the front cover of the frother actually has a magnet, and if you do not put on the plastic front panel with the magnet embedded in it, the coffee machine will not start. Thank you very much.

    For now, I have dismantled the inoperative display module into the first parts. I would like the ATMEGA324PA chip not to be damaged, because you can buy it, but I am afraid that it is a programmable chip and without getting a batch, the module may turn out to be beyond repair. This motherboard also has a 3.3V stabilizer and one transistor.
    So I will check all the tracks, then the guides - and we'll see if this module moves.

    My advice is also this - if you buy some parts for repair, you should buy a comb of this height (although it would be more convenient) with pins. It seems to be a much easier job of cutting the original pins and desoldering them one at a time than all of them - there is less chance of damaging tight solder pads and the thin tracks going to them.

    Unfortunately, the second attempt - I did not manage to start the module with the adapter - I dismantled and reassembled it very carefully - dead.

    So I would like to assemble such a full control module for OLED according to the J4rek rev.2 project.

    I would just like to clarify the issue of the elements - please check if I wrote it down correctly from the diagram:

    NIVONA MODULE J4rek for 1305 display - version: full PCB, as in the attachment:
    SMD BOM LIST:

    L1 - 10uH SMD wire choke 10uH 0.4A 560mR 4.5x3.2mm H = 1.5mm

    D1 - MBR0530 Shotki diode 30V 0.5A

    C1 - 4u7 / 16V
    C6 - 4u7 / 16V
    C7 - 4u7 / 16V
    C8 - 4u7 / 16V
    C10 - 4u7 / 16V
    C11 - 4u7 / 16V

    C2 - 100nF / 16V
    C3 - 100nF / 16V
    C4 - 100nF / 16V
    C9 - 100nF / 16V

    C5 - 22pF

    R1 - 1M
    R2 - 1M
    R3 - 120K


    U1 - SN74AHC1G00DBVR
    U2 - CD4071B
    U3 - CD4078B

    TPS61045 TPS61045DRBR QFN-8 Chipset IC REG BOOST ADJ 0.3A, LED driver, 1 output, boost (step up), 1.8V-6V input, 1MHz switching, 28V / 20mA output
    --------------------------------

    I just started my adventure with SMD .

    1.
    I have a very lame question about the size of the SMD components needed for this PCB - elements should be 0603 or 0805 size ? The size 1206 capacitors I bought turned out to be a bit too big and not very convenient to solder in the fields.

    I left the integrated circuits and OLED display from the experiment with a small adapter, I miss C5 - 22pF, R1 - 1M, R2 - 1M, R3 - 120K, I will sell the rest.

    2.
    The last question - does anyone have one or two bare laminates of the full PCB J4rek rev. 2 and can help me and resell at cost, possibly with these missing SMD C5, R1, R2, R3 components? Or maybe a damaged NIVONA display module with a working motherboard for little money, so that it does not lie in a drawer and help me revive my Nivona?

    Didn't look any further for the error and reordered U1, U2, U3, TPS and replaced them. I re-soldered the other components with flux, probably a component (U1-U3) got too much heat during soldering.

    Thanks again for your help and the great project.

    Good Morning

    I've read through a lot now, first of all thank you very much for the trouble some people make here.
    Often everything is not summarized but what is to be done is always given in fractions.

    I have the same problem with the dark display.
    Is my approach so correct:

    1) Remove the display unit from the defective Nivona and unsolder the display from the circuit board
    2) Go to this page jlcpcb.com and insert the Gerber file from user "j4rek" NIVONA SSD1305 ADAPTER "(V1r2) .ZIP for example and order the board. (8 EUR)
    3) The display opens
    aliexpress ---> order SSD1305Z. (20 EUR ;)
    4) Order the components on the Internet:
    C1 = C3 = 100 nF / 16 V
    C2 = 4u7 / 16V
    U1 = SN74AHC1G00DBVR
    U2 = CD4071BM
    U3 = CD4078BM
    (15 EUR ;)
    5) When the small circuit board has arrived, you have to solder the components from 4) on it.
    6) TPS? Where is the TPS on the old board? You have to solder it out and put it on the new little board, right?
    7) Now you have to solder the new display + the small circuit board with components to the control unit
    8) Assemble everything and start the device

    Now the text in the display has to show like the original display, right?
    Have I forgotten any components?
    Or do I have to do something else?
    Thank you for the great help
    All in all, everything costs almost EUR 50, so it's a lot of money if you make a mistake and have to throw the board away, so I don't want to go wrong.

    Hello,

    4) - parts list (type 0805 / 16V or more):
    C1, C6-C8, C10, C11 = 4.7uF
    C2-C4, C9 = 100nF
    C5 = 22pF
    R1, R2 = 1M
    R3 = 120k
    R4 = DNP
    D1 MBR0530 (old display)
    L1 10uH (old display)
    U1 SN74AHC1G00DBVR
    U2 CD4071BM
    U3 CD4078BM
    U4 TPS61045 (old display)

    6) - The TPS is an approx. 4x4 mm small component
    Be careful when soldering so that there is no short circuit on the underside of the PINs.

    7) - If the new display were not to be soldered, but rather a 20-pin socket strip would be soldered on and the PINs on the old display would be cut off - the new one can then simply be attached (the plastic holder only needs to be cut out a few mm).

    If you're making a version on a small adapter, you don't need TPS, you only buy U1, U2 and U3. You leave the old board and the TPS converter block remains on it. TPS is the most problematic for people and therefore best done on a small PCB.

    Hi,

    Thanks to this topic I tried to replace the display of my Nivona. I used Jareks design v21 and after a short test I thought everything worked. However now I assembled my Nivona to run some more tests the display seems to be unstable. I see some “artifacts” and sometimes it switches upside down. Anyone an idea what could be the problem of this? Bad soldering? Other things to check?

Topic summary

✨ The discussion addresses the issue of a damaged OLED display in the NIVONA Caferomatica 830 coffee machine, with the original replacement cost around PLN 900-1000. Users confirm the original display uses the SSD1303T10 driver and is a 128x64 pixel OLED module with a 31-pin connector, which is now rare and discontinued. Attempts to find direct substitutes on AliExpress or other markets largely failed due to incompatible controllers, pin layouts, or mirrored image outputs. Alternative displays such as BL12864G (yellow OLED) from SOS electronic (Slovakia) and similar models from Japan or Russia have been used successfully but require delicate desoldering and soldering of the 31-pin ribbon cable, a process recommended only for skilled technicians. Some users developed or are developing adapter boards to use newer SSD1305, SSD1309, or SPD0301 controller displays, which have different pinouts and may show mirrored images or missing columns, requiring hardware or firmware adaptations. The community shares detailed disassembly instructions for accessing the display module, emphasizing careful removal of the front panel and soldering challenges. Some users report successful repairs by cleaning pins or replacing capacitors and diodes on the motherboard. The discussion also highlights the scarcity of original or compatible displays, the need for specialized repair skills, and ongoing efforts to create adapters for newer OLED modules to extend the machine's lifespan.

FAQ

TL;DR: Replacing the NIVONA 8xx OLED yourself cuts the 1 000 PLN service bill by ~82 % [Elektroda, paps79, #17062707; jacenty67, #17179483]. “It shines like new” once a SSD1305/0301 panel is fitted. Why it matters: the original display is NLA but affordable substitutes keep the machine brewing.

Quick Facts

• Original OLED: SSD1303T10, 132 × 64 px, 12 V boost rail [Elektroda, amigos, post #17834004] • Proven swaps: SSD1305Z (yellow/white) or SPD0301 (yellow/white), 128 × 64 px [Elektroda, amigos, post #18000551] • Parts cost: 140 – 260 PLN incl. PCB, vs. 800 – 1 000 PLN service module [Elektroda, jacenty67, #17179483; Luczi04031986, #18508253] • PCB options: “Satanistik 24-pin” for SPD0301 or “Amigos 31-pin” for SSD1305 [Elektroda, satanistik, #17894955; amigos, #18233157] • Typical boost voltage after TPS61045: 11 – 13 V DC [Elektroda, jackmc, post #18490466]

Which replacement OLED works without missing pixel columns?

Choose an SSD1305Z 31-pin panel; it shows the full 128 × 64 frame with no two-column gap that affects SPD0301 swaps [Elektroda, amigos, post #18000551]

Why does my SPD0301 screen show a 2-pixel blank strip?

SPD0301 is hard-wired for 128-pixel addressing; NIVONA firmware still sends 132 px data, so columns 0–1 wrap to the end, leaving a visible break [Elektroda, amigos, post #17925365] Functionality is unaffected.

What PCB adapter should I order for SSD1305?

Download the ‘Amigos SSD1305’ Gerber pack (post #18233157) and order 1 mm FR-4, 1-oz Cu; five boards cost about 8 USD delivered from JLCPCB [Elektroda, amigos, post #18510016]

Do I need hot-air to solder TPS61045 boost IC?

Yes. The SON-8 package sits under the board; use 250 °C air, flux, and tweezers. Hand soldering risks bridging pins 6–7 and kills the 12 V rail [Elektroda, damek4, post #18600363]

Edge case: display stays dark after swap—what to test?

  1. Measure VCC at JP1 pins 1-2; it must be 3.3 V.
  2. Check boost output at C4/C10; expect ~12 V.
  3. Inspect TPS61045 for shorts; one bridged pad drops boost to 4–5 V, leaving OLED blank [Elektroda, damek4, post #18600363]

How to flip the mirrored image on SSD1305/0301?

Use the 2-IC inverter: CD4078 combines command bits, CD4071 forces D0 high when opcode A0h is detected, plus 74AHC1G00 adds a 2-gate delay on WR#. Full schematic in post #18507781.

Is a plug-and-play board available?

Yes. Pre-assembled replacement modules appear on eBay for ~90 EUR [Elektroda, amigos, post #18421610] They clip into the 20-pin header—no soldering—yet still use SSD1305 inside.

Statistic: how much money do DIYers actually save?

Forum users report 170 PLN parts + 100 PLN labor versus 900 – 1 000 PLN service, a median saving of 74 % [Elektroda, jacenty67, #17179483; nioop, #17062856].

Can I reuse the old boost inductor and diode?

Yes—if L1 (10 µH, 4532) and D1 (MBR0530) test OK, resolder them onto the new PCB to match NIVONA’s 12 V design [Elektroda, amigos, post #18233157]

3-step How-To: swapping the OLED panel

  1. Unsnap front fascia, desolder 31-pin ribbon, lift old SSD1303 OLED.
  2. Solder new SSD1305 or attach SPD0301 to adapter; fit boost PCB onto 20-pin header.
