   I think that's why you get so high currents. This

# echo >/sys/class/backlight/gta02-bl/brightness 0

doesn't do what you hope it does. You should try

# echo >/sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-regltr.9/glamo3362.0/glamo-spi-gpio.0/spi2.0/state sleep

also. A shorthand for that file is /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi2.0/state. When
the display isn't blanked, it reads 'normal'.

   But, IMHO, consider using a higher-level interface (such as
freesmartphone.org) to turn off the display instead of trying to find all
the places to mess with under /sys yourself.
