Adafruit TFT 3.5" Screen Resolution

When I first installed my screen I saw the whole raspberry on the boot up screen. I was poking around the settings trying to stretch the game boy resolution to fill the screen. I'm sure i changed something else instead because when I boot it up now i see half the raspberry and some of the boot up text is not displayed. Any help would be appreciated.

check your config.txt file using command line or by reading your card on another device. Look at the overscan settings and see what resolution is set. If anything looks out of place put a hash sign before the text to cancel it out or type in an appropriate value.

Pro tip: Whenever you change settings, make a copy/screenshot/backup etc. of the original configs so that you can revert back to a previous working state when needed.

Same for hardware as well - take lots of pictures, then you can upload them onto the forum! ;)
