Re: Screen problems

Well, the third time lucky. Today arrived my new GearBest screen and it works gorgeous. Now I have to wait for the shell to arrive, as well as other 3 more screens :D (This happens when you buy the components for a friend, ask for a refund to the sellers and get in total 5 screens, 2 not working, 2 ...

Connect:
5v (red) to PP1
Signal (white) to TV
Ground (black) to TV ground
Nothing at all :/

Anyway, I have another screens incoming. I'll try with them. If it doesn't work, I'll try with another pi.

Re: Screen problems

Already tried and nothing. I also cc both AV1 and AV2 and nothing. I check the wires and the voltage and it's right. Any more ideas?

Screen problems

Well, after discarding a faulty screen, my bad luck goes on. With the new screen, recomended by @Brenda, I have a new problem. It works somehow, but for a second, as shown in the video.

I've reflashed the SD card with no luck. Can anyone give some help?

Re: Collecting information on alternative displays - please contribute

@Brenda, I got today the screen you posted. Could you tell the specs of the power suply you used? I'm asking as it hasn't worked for me yet :S. Thanks in advance.
