You were lucky, none of my SD cards worked reliably with the 680Ω. At first I used a PN200 transistor which worked well but when others tried different transistors it didn't work.
Eventually I found the transistor can be replaced with a diode. Any type with a junction capacitance greater than about 30pF will work such as 1N4004 or 1N5819. The anode goes to LCD_DO and the cathode to MISO via T_DO. The resistor (1.8kΩ to 10kΩ) goes from LCD_CS to MISO via T_DO. They can be mounted directly on the top of LCD pins. Snipping off the LCD_DO pin then makes it compatible with boards intended for other displays. . Edited 2026-03-30 11:01 by phil99
