Not giving my info here publicly, if you have the box then it's the same address but if not send me a PM or email for the info.

Don't contact me about obtaining my board files (as you will not get them). If my Boards or PCB Kits are sold out, they will be restocked as soon as I can get them and there is demand for them. You can join the mailing list on my Website to be notified when they are available.

Do you have the SD card in?
Is the ribbon cable the right way? If you have the connectors facing up, the blue ends of the ribbons should be up like so:

Have you checked continuity of all your soldering connections with a multimeter?

Is there anything else you have tried?

If you can't be bothered to read the thread with the likely fix or the wiki why should we bother repeating everything that is already there?

Go have a look at the wiki for the fixes and if you can't fix it then send it back to me and I'll fix it as long as YOU did not break the LCD like messing up the ribbon or LCD screen being cracked and any damage to the pcb.

If not do as I said send it back to me undamaged and I can fix it, if the screen works for me then the issue is your soldering.

So I finished my pi and my screen has started to have this snow effect, turns to static, then freezes. Any ideas on where I should check first?

This is a new one for me, can you get a quick video of it in action doing this and also does the screen get excessively hot?
