Adafruit PiTFT

Post by deltafee »

Hi, I just recently bought a Adafruit PiTFT and I tried installing it but I can't seem to get it working. My version of Raspberry Pi is Linux raspberrypi 3.6.11+ and I followed this tutorial:

http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pitf ... stallation

here's my dmesg:

when I type in startx I get this from my remote desktop:

I am also having this error, I soldered the headers properly (its pretty much a no-brainer, even used professional soldering iron and sanded off excess). I followed this tutorial by copy/pasting the commands and I get the startx error, and the screen remains white. I get the outputs mentioned above, my version is the same also.

So, i clean up my sodering and made sure its all connected and now when i do the first startx I get it to blink like in the tutorial. However I still can't get it to work, not sure what is wrong.

here's my dmesg now:

You must use Raspian as the OS for the adafruit piTFT tutorial to work

I've just checked with the people who have the most in-house experience working with those displays.

Their first choice of a suspect is the flex cable between the TFT and the PCB. It's really easy to move it slightly out of whack, and almost impossible to see the difference between a properly seated connector and one that's askew. Re-seating the cable is quick and painless, so give it a try and see if it helps.

The second most likely suspect is the soldering. That's one of those things where we need to get visual confirmation of the joints before doing an RMA, so if reseating the cable doesn't work, please post a photo of your solder joints. It needs to be well enough lit and well enough focused that we can see the details. The forum has an upper limit on file sizes, but 800x600 images tend to hit the sweet spot between visible detail and file size.

Yeah i am not sure which thing to pull out, i know its the orange cable. Are you talking about the part that connects to the screen or the part that connects to the board?

So i hade my friend look at it and he noticed that one of the capacitors in the ribbon connecting to the screen was blown. When i opened there was a black dot around of the capacitors so I called and exchanged it. Thanks for the help!
