Re: Pi won't power up with screen connected, worked previously, help pls!

It's misleading, but the pin beside the TV label is actually ground. Its needs to go in the circled area seen below https://i.imgur.com/aT3PpUg.jpg Thanks rodocop, I will try that as soon as I get a chance. The Pi powers up if I disconnect the black cable from the display controller, but obviously ...

Re: Pi won't power up with screen connected, worked previously, help pls!

Could it be that the cable between the display controller and the display has become damaged? Things may have shifted in the box when I've moved it around over the past 6 weeks. Would that possibly cause this sort of behaviour?

Re: Pi won't power up with screen connected, worked previously, help pls!

Try desoldering the green wire from the Pi and power it on. Thank you so much for your response, I was not expecting to hear from an absolute LEGEND :D I tried what you suggested, but unfortunately it's still not powering on. The strangest thing about this is that it was all working previously. I t...

Re: Pi won't power up with screen connected, worked previously, help pls!

Thanks for your response Helder. As I mentioned in my post everything is connected as it was previously, and it was working previously.

Pi won't power up with screen connected, worked previously, help pls! [SOLVED]

I successfully connected my variant 12 screen to my Pi Zero some time back, then put the (connected) bits in a box to resume work at a later stage once other components I was waiting on arrived. Today I took the screen and Pi out of said box, and the black wire from the screen controller, which I'd ...

Re: BW 3.5 TFT LCD - 5V modification

I have the yellow wire going to "TV" on my pi, and the green to the ground next to it. I've got the red wire going to GPIO pin 2, and the black grounded on GPIO pin 6. My...
