Matrix Orbital Screen via USB to SPI Adapter with the EVE2-70A-BLM-TPN

[Psata]

Looking for some help with a sensor panel I've been scratching my head about. I read on the LCD support page that you could use a matrix orbital screen as a stats display and wanted to give it a try. I got the Display and the USB-to-SPI as stated in the PDF LCD compatibility file. I unboxed it and plugged the display into the adapter with the ribbon cable, but no power LED's on either device. However, I can communicate with the USB to SPI device on Windows but the screen stays blank(I presume, which means off). I attempted to plug a 5v power adapter into the USB to SPI module, thinking that it just needed more power, but it started smoking. Granted it wasn't a regulated 5v power supply, which I have yet to try, but I wanted to reach out to see if anyone else has done this to see what steps I missed, and or I could follow.

Smoking doesn't mean good   5V power supply should be correct, but I'm not sure if it can just be any power supply.  We used one supplied by Matrix Orbital to power the board and the screen.
