So I ordered a new BW screen from Amazon and tested it to make sure it worked before I took it apart. Now when I go to hook up the Raspberry Pi to it nothing happens. Im assuming that my wiring is done wrong but I can't see anything that is wrong.

I've re-formatted the SD-card and put a new copy of Retropie on it and put NOOBS on another SD-card and nothing happened. The screen is running off of a 12v 1a power cord and the Raspberry Pi is running off of a 5v micro usb cord.

What about you connect the pi to an HDMI display first? Do you get a led light when you power on the pi?

Unfortunately I don't have a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter, so I can't test that out. The green led light turns on and kinda flickers and thats about it.
