Make sure nothing changes the display output mode. Some edit HDMI settings, any editing of those will stop the internal screen working. You may have luck in the 'one time reboot to hdmi' and you might find it works?

Awesome I'm glad that it was something easy I'll look in to updating the pics or adding a bit more clarification on the blue tabs

Yeah on both ends it will 'look the same' with the bright blue ends pointing up (so that you can see them). Hopefully it's something simple like that

Is there damage to the flexible FPC cable? Are you plugging it in so that you can see the BLUE TABS pointing up when you put it into the connector? I'm talking about the plastic at the tips, not the blue text on the cable

Ok, plugged symbol means plugged in but not charging, so sounds like the charging IC needs replacing. If you could send me an email I'll give you the return address and get it replaced

So every time when the case is apart it works fine? Is there anything that is pressing on the CM3 when the case is being closed? The cables for the back board perhaps may get in the way. Could you grab the logs files https://github.com/kiteretro/Circuit-Sword/wiki/Circuit-Sword-FAQ#how-do-i-collect-...

Sure thing sounds good as always just keep me updated if there are issues and if it ever gets to the point you are out of options i'm always here to take a look and help out!

Ok cool, well that's something! I suspect one of the buttons is being held down? The buttons work by the 'signal pin' (e.g. R1 or L1 etc) should be at 3.3v (if measured with a multimeter). And when you 'press' the button, it connects the signal pin to GND. So with a multimeter you can verify the vol...

I suspect something got knocked. You can take a look at all the chips and perhaps use an old toothbrush or brush and clean around all the chips incase there is a bit of solder or something caught in between the legs. Quite unlikely but that's all i can suggest without seeing :) just email me if ther...
