I am trying to get my Hyperpixel 4.0 screen up and running on my Raspberry pi 2 Model B V1.1 2014. I have recently installed a fresh version of Raspberry Pi OS from the desktop installer. I plugged my Pi up to an ethernet and ran the Curl command from this github page:

> **[GitHub - pimoroni/hyperpixel4: Driver for the Pimoroni HyperPixel 4.0"...](https://github.com/pimoroni/hyperpixel4)**
>
> Driver for the Pimoroni HyperPixel 4.0" Touchscreen Display - GitHub - pimoroni/hyperpixel4: Driver for the Pimoroni HyperPixel 4.0" Touchscreen Display

The install seem to go through smoothly. And I checked all the boxes for Rectangle display, pi3+ or older. However when I rebooted the pi, only the backlight would come on, and showed nothing at all on the display.

I then tried running through the installation on this github page:

> **[GitHub - pimoroni/hyperpixel4 at pi3](https://github.com/pimoroni/hyperpixel4/tree/pi3)**
>
> pi3

Still had no errors and everything seemed to install correctly. However I was just met to a blank backlit screen upon load up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Might want to give the Legacy Buster OS option a try?

There were some big changes in Bullseye that messed things up for the Hyperpixel installer. Phil Howard is working on a solution, might take a little time though.  
On the plus side Buster works just fine.
