Hi folks,
I’ve followed the instructions. On first power on I got nothing no lights or activity.
I connected power directly to the pi and saw power and disk activity leds.
I realised the power button was upside down compared to the photos in the guide and guessed the led wires were wrong way around. So I disconnected the led wires and connected power across nc + no buttons. Hurrah, white led on picade x and purple led lit up on display board.
However the screen still blank. I’ve edited config.txt to hdmi_force_hotplug=1
Still nothing on screen and starting to lose willpower.
I’ve used the micro hdmi adaptor to connect the pi to a tv bypassing the display and can see retro pie startup screen though says no controller connected and pressing and holding any of the 10 buttons does nothing.
I’m at a loss. But at the moment the faults I think I have are.
- Button shorts out picade x when led is attached correctly.
- Screen is completely blank regardless of what I do.
- Micro usb cable for power to display was missing (come on guys!) but lucky I had a short spare one.
- None of the inputs seem to work, double checked wires are seated in picadex, so assuming something is wrong with the picade x board.
I’ll attach a couple of photos, I’ve removed the screws from bottom of pi so I could swing it out and disconnect the hdmi easier.
