mintyPi v3 is being very finicky

Post by Fishfood » Thu Jul 23, 2020 10:50 pm

So one day I powered on my minty and for no reason there was only a white screen, but other than that everything worked normally. So I took my mintyPi a

part and I was able to get the screen to work, but only if it was in the right spot. If it would move out of that spot, it would go either white or black and it would work properly again unless I shut it down and turn it back on. My biggest suspect is the ribbon cable but I'm not fully sure. Any help or suggestions?
Here's a video of it in action (below)

Definitely looks like a ribbon issue, send me a DM and I can give you details on how to order a new one from me.
