So I tested everything and sure enough I had a bad solder joint. I re did the joint rewired the sound to the proper leads and now everything is working fine. Two new problems cropped up on two different Pi's. One was a dim lit screen. I have tried soldering wire to the second pin to the ground test ...

Yeah I had a feeling I probably flexed something and now I’m paying for it. I’m going to test everything and report back. I am building 3 of them and I was testing a screen and I got no back light on one screen so I’m going to test the voltage and then probably have to do the pin to test pad trick.

I’m having a problem with one of my MintyPi builds. I had one completely together and it all worked except for the sound. So I moved the power and ground from the PCB pads and soldered them with the main power pads. I plugged it all back together and now all I’m getting is a white screen. I reburned...

You can also mod the splash screen file.

For sale one working YBox 2 with 9v power supply and propeller cable. It's in a spearmint Altoids tin that's a little beat up. I'm asking $40 USD for everything including shipping (only in the continuos 48 US states) PayPal only. PM me for pictures, if you want it.

Ok first off go get a pencil tip soldering tip and a flux pen. If you have a cheap low watt soldering iron or just a really old one. Upgrade to a new iron. Something in the 40-50 watt range. Weller makes a good iron. The one I use is Weller WLC100 40-Watt Soldering Station and have several tips. The...

You need the sound card hooked up for it all to work. This issue is so common I think there needs to be a big bold thing written into the wiki about how all the components need to be hooked up to work properly. There is another thread here that shows how to fix it so it will switch to HDMI sound and...

Would the 3DS buttons and contacts pads work in the MintyPi. I found the colors I want for the builds I'm doing but before I pull the trigger I was curious if some has used them yet?

If I zoom in real close on the picture of the ribbon cable from behind it looks like the left most contact is peeling up. If that is the case you can trim all the contacts down to the same level and try again. As long as you get connections it should still work. But I would wait for others to chim i...

Try tinning a bit of wire and sticking it into the holes a couple of times. It will help make the solder flow into contact better.
