The displaying back is working okay. But I started looking at things on my Pi.
I turned on temperature reporting in htop. And saw  the cores were like 80C.
I'm like that seems a bit high.

Started reading about others moving swap off SD card, and onto USB stick to
avoid wear-n-tear on sd (and os disk), and usb stick can be easily replaced.
The swap by default is on 100M and I have a RaspPi 4 with 8G. So seems a bit
small also for the amount of ram.

So, I brought a usb fan to blow on the unit; and setup 8G swap (which I haven't
seen it use yet) and thinks are working better. I have temp down to 5xC rather
than 8xC . So I think my fan on the heat sink wasn't doing it's job (not
running when needed). 

We will see how the story continues ...
