[SOLVED]Possible Adafruit screen issue
My Adafruit NTSC/PAL TFT screen doesn't display anything while my pi zero is on. Re-soldered some wires which didn't fix the problem. While I was taking the ribbon out of the board the small black plastic bar that holds the ribbon in place broke on one side. The ribbon wasn't damaged, and the bar still pops into place to hold the ribbon. I'm not sure if that has any effect on the display. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Re: Possible Adafruit screen issue
I've never used an Adafruit screen before but the first two things I'd check would be one the ribbon remains securely seated and two use a Multimeter to verify you're getting 5v to the screen board.
The plastic bar breaking shouldn't be a big deal, I've had them pop off before but still snap back in place and hold just fine, so long as that is the case I wouldn't think that is the issue.

Re: Possible Adafruit screen issue
Found it was not at 5v. Re-soldered and got it working. Thank you for your help!
