Hey guys, i just wanted to post an update to a problem I was having where half my screen was white and the other half was visible.after hours of re aligning my ribbon cable I wasn't able to get a clear image. I gave up and saw similar screens on eBay and bought them just in case my screen was defect...

Same here, been at it for four days now and the best I can get is 2/3 of the screen is barely visible and the other 1/3 is all white. I've been checking and rechecking my continuity making sure any pads aren't bridged, realigning the ribbon cable(restarting after every try). Idk I think im putting t...

Hey guys, so I've been getting a partial white screen on my mintypi. I have already tried inserting the cable every which way and no luck. I tested all my soldering pads for continuity and everything checks out fine, I feel like I'm going crazy here

For example I just use one I picked up at RadioShack, and I also have a butane one

I think pictures of your soldering iron could help. I'm sure everyone here uses different soldering irons, there isn't a standard as far as I'm aware of

I've spent a good 2 hours aligning the ribbon cable, adding more tape, less tape, this is the closest that I get to it working.its either all white, half white or not on at all. I'll try again more tomorrow

I just ripped off the one next to that one (data minus?) Do you think you could help me find another trace?

So I'm getting partial white screen?
I can see retropie in the background but the screen is still mostly white

Yeah it's in the middle of the line of test pads, next to rst and sdi

Thanks for this solution Helder. I was having this issue and I linked the second pin to ground, but nothing still shows up on the screen

EDIT: okay, so it had something to do with the ribbon cable being in juuuuusst right.
