I’m trying to use my original version Picade with Picade-X hat. The hat is so much simpler than the old board to set up and Matt’s video explainers have been very useful but I can’t see how to get power to the screen - there isn’t (as far as iI can see) a micro USB socket to accept power from the RPi. Im I missing something obvious? Any help would be appreciated Steve ---

I believe that’s done using one of these cables. [USB A to microB cable - Black - Pimoroni](https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/usb-a-to-microb-cable-black?variant=31241639498) One end plugged into the Pi’s USB port and the other to the diplays power jack. ---

Yeah any usb like the one [alphanumeric](https://forums.pimoroni.com/u/alphanumeric) posted should work right into the pi. That how I am powering mine now. I am not even using the picade x-hat. I am using the new 10 inch picade screen which has the micro usb for power. So I am using that same cord right into one of the usb ports on the pi. The issue might be is that screen you are using a 12v or 5v? The reason I ask is I used to have the old picade and I added a 12 inch screen which needed 12v so I had to rig it up. The new 10 inch picade screen is a 5v screen so you can plug it into the pi with no issue.

Hi Guys - thanks for the responses. The board on my screen is probably older than angel’s. An I can’t work out how it should be powered ![PXL_20221023_095513020](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/pimoroni/original/2X/3/3aff06eae1d25ef587111b88781f2d8bfec7b024.jpeg) ---

I see that barrel plug. Is that screen and 12.1 inch screen? If so I bet it uses or needs a 12v dc power source. I used one like this on my old picade before I sold it.

Thanks angel! You nailed it - I’ve just plugged a 12v centre+ psu into the barrel connector on the board and I,ve got a retro pi prompt! Result! Thanks again! ---
