Re: Screen issues (white screen) since soldering to Pi
Good news, the new screen came in today. I left the controller board of the screen intact and decided to simply solder the wires of the supplied cable to the pie. Everything worked perfectly. https://i.imgur.com/ljy4YeX.jpg This time, thinking that I damaged the ribbon wire on my previous one, I was...

Re: Screen issues (white screen) since soldering to Pi
Yeah, it may then be the ribbon cable which has disconnected in the screen. I've re-seated the cable in it's connector at least 10 times just to be sure, and don't see any possible improvement there. It could then have happened in the couple of days in between my first wiring-test (when it worked pe...

Re: Screen issues (white screen) since soldering to Pi
Nu luck, unfortunately. Results are identical. I resoldered all my wires and used TV- as gound.
I also shortened the long wire-endings.
These pics show the wiring from board to pi.

Re: Screen issues (white screen) since soldering to Pi
Thanks guys, I’ll resolder some of the connections this afternoon and using the ground next to the AV hole is something I haven’t done before so that’s definitely worth a try.
I’ll post some pics of the results including the wiring on the pi if I keep having same results.

Re: Screen issues (white screen) since soldering to Pi
Thanks for that. I did dig deep in other posts and tried to work with all possible solutions. Unfortunately nothing seems to work. It seems that desoldering the connector was a bad thing to do, and I'm afraid I indeed partially fried the board. I've ordered a second screen to which I'll solder the w...

Screen issues (white screen) since soldering to Pi
Hi guys, Let me start by saying hi. I've been reading the forums for a while now (thanks for all your help) and can now finally start working on my own build after parts have been arriving over the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately I am having issues at my first try, which is trying to get my scre...
