Got Picade kit recently and finally setup today. All went well until I turn it on. The pi and screen turn on but its just white on the display - photo attached. Retropie has been installed ( but no games yet). The pi is OK as it boots into retropie when attached to TV via HDMI. I changed config r…

Ok so the display still doesn’t come on at all without the HDMI cable plugged in, the control board LED quickly goes from green to red (probably because it’s getting a signal that there’s no input?). I’m guessing it’s a problem with either the driver board or the screen then? Cheers Steve

Try to disconnect the hdmi cable which goes to the screen’s pcb and then connect it again. Same with the raspberry pi’s hdmi port. I had the blue screen problem and added the hdmi force line to the config file, but nothing happened. Only when I did the thing above the screen detected the signal. C…

Already tried disconnection and reconnection of the HDMI to no avail, I have tested the same set with two other HDMI monitors and can confirm everything else is working… :-(

Then I guess you should try the screen with another computer : / Maybe is really not working properly.

Good point! I did and the screen still didn’t work, however the other monitor that was connected to the computer I tested the display on switched res to 800x600! Meaning it’s the screen/ribbon cable and not the driver board. Cheers Steve

Hi All If your getting a white LCD the the first thin to look at reseating the flat ribbon in the past i have use the pair of needle nose pliers to help with this. In the meantime I’m going to have a check through the screens we have have here to see if there is any issues as mentioned. Regards G…

The photo of the driver board shows that the right side of the FPC connector is not properly closed. It was pretty difficult to get the connector closed for me too, I had to use pliers to very carefully squeeze it closed.

Just created an account to add to the people who have a dead/white display. Tried the display with another PC, and it displays white output only. The Pi works fine with other displays - all the correct settings etc.Rest of the cabinet was great - so I’m looking for another display option. Possibly s…

Hi, I also have this problem… I just finished building my picade, and after turning on, the screen just goes white and then turns off… I see all the buttons and arcade stick working, because the board shows feedback. Connected the Pi2 to another hdmi screen, and worked without any issues. I’m usi…
