Re: White screen on minty pi lite

All of those points have perfect continuity according to the multimeter. One thing I could possibly note is that it was difficult to get GND to connect, and I went back and worked with it until I gave up and ran a wire.

But I haven't tried trimming the ribbon cable. As for the SD card, I get the white screen with or without it inserted but it's maybe w...
