Can't tell from the picture, but do you have the ribbon attached to the Button PCB upside down? Also the screen cable doesn't look attached very well.

What have you done to troubleshoot the issue on your own? You have too much solder in your GPIO ports.

Looks like you have too much tape 2 should be the max. Also check continuity.

^ +1 You don't even have the latch closed because you have so much tape. 1 layer of tape should work fine 2 MAX. The ribbon should go in far and you should be able to lock it in place.

Plus there are already threads above this one with similar issues and answers to them oh and don't bump your thread in a 2 hour period or any period.

Do some reading or do a search, and I don't care if you don't have the patience to read what has already been asked numerous time before. If your going to post these things then have all tests done and try every troubleshooting tips already posted in the other threads, but that would involve reading.

A little rude Helder ,but thank you for the help. I got it working out After I removed some tape.

Yes it was the point, because people can do alot of the troubleshooting if they read or better yet post in the proper threads instead of having a new thread about the same issue and it will get the attention it needs. This is also helpful for people with LCD issues to have all the answers in 1 thread instead of spread over many.
