Re: White screen

One more test I will do shortly is take the screen from my working one and test. Didn't really want to take it apart again but at least it will help work out the problem with this one

Re: White screen

Did you restart the PI when you made alignment changes? I have said this before that you will notice the screen working or not only on a reboot not while the system is on. Just having another play around and it's got to be the screen. I have soldered the pins of the header that the lcd plugs into d...

Took it apart used thinner tape for the screen bezel and rounded the corners of the tin and put it all in a new tin. Fits well ...

Re: MintyPi For Sale

Yeah, nice colour scheme. Looks very stealth. What was the tin? Description says it doesn't fit perfectly... It was one of the generic "Altoids" tins from ebay, they are ever so slightly off as the corners aren't as rounded, it fits but the 3D printed bracket for the LCD pushes the lid up a little ...
