Hi Benny, I expected it would be ok. I would bet your display is fine and the hardware is fine, its something else. I've definitely seen this happen which was an image, I even have a video of it happening in an email somewhere.
The issue with the feeder showing 255 hours and 255 minutes is because those numbers can't grow any larger. Its so far out because your time is set to year 2000. Once you set the clock and do a feed the times will straighten themselves out. The power status section is empty because the eeprom needs to be set by viewing the customize outlets page and exiting.
The main problem we have to solve is the touch so you can get around in the controller.
If the images are loading good then you have the UTFT library working. No need to change anything in that library, its good.
Are you using this line to call the display?
If so change it to
and try and get it working. This how I use to call it until the last time I connected the sainsmart, I discovered it worked with the same as the ElecFreaks but didn't run it long so maybe its best to use CTE70.
So all you need to do is keep playing with the UTouch library and calibration files till you get a match. Every time I've worked with a sainsmart I've had trouble, once I get it working I put all the files together that got it working but next they never seem to work...
Did you try the different calibration numbers in that UTouchCD.h file in the UTouch library I posted in the thread?
I'm going to try and find mine and give it a go, if I get it working I'll post what I have.

Code:
UTFT myGLCD(TFT01_70, 25, 26, 27, 28); // used for ElecFreaks and Sainsmart 7" DisplayIf so change it to
Code:
UTFT myGLCD(CTE70, 25, 26, 27, 28); // Sainsmart 7" Displayand try and get it working. This how I use to call it until the last time I connected the sainsmart, I discovered it worked with the same as the ElecFreaks but didn't run it long so maybe its best to use CTE70.
