HELP!!!! SCREEN PROBLEM
Well I finally got my screen in, soldered it to the board with as much precision as possible. I tripled checked my connections, and made sure there was no shorts. I fired it up (not literally fired it up, that would be bad) and it booted up to the "Loading" screen. after a few minutes the screen went white. I was like "Okay, Wermy said that it would take forever to boot"; so I waited, and waited. After 15 minutes, I decided that something was wrond. But Upon inspection I couldn't tell what. My screen was fine, I have a good raspberry pi, so whats up? Please, please help me.

Re: HELP!!!! SCREEN PROBLEM
Check all continuity on the LCD board test pads to the actual GPIO on the pi. If you're using a battery be sure it's fully charged, I've had power issues when the battery is not fully charged.

Yep. Im using a power supply and made sure all of the connections are connected between the screen board and the GPIO Pins.

Welp, this sucks
In attempt to making my screen work, I ended up runing my screen board. I am not exactly sure if I "ruined" it, but I messed it up pretty good. I for dure lifted a pad and bridged a few connections. I tried using solder wick, but that still didn't help. If anyone thinks that this might be salvageable, lease contact me with suggestions.

Re: Welp, this sucks
You can just push the solder from the pin of the LCD ribbon to those exposed traces or use a tiny wire and why are you making new threads about the same subject? keep it in one place.
