piTFT mini kit doesn't turn on

Post by suck3rs »

I just got my piTFT screen soldered up and connected it to my raspberry pi. I ran all of the commands listed in the instructions for installing the required kernels. My screen is just blank though. I don't know if there is something that I am missing. I have combed over the instructions a few times and tried both kernels but I get nothing.

i am not sure where to go from here, but I think my screen is DOA

Disregard. The 2 black clips on either side of the cable that plugs into the circuit board were both loose. I made sure that the cable was firmly in and then made sure that they were securely back in place.

Working on arrival!

Awesome product. Fuddling through the software now.
