LCD display doesn't turn on

Post by thedagem »

I purchased the i2c 16x2 RGB LCD Pi Plate. I purchased this fully assembled through amazon because my soldering skills are not very good. I followed the tutorial on this site to get it to turn on and I've done everything correct. however when I type sudo i2cdetect -y 1 in the terminal window. I do not see anything on 20: like I should, and the lcd display does not turn on. Why is this? Can you offer some help?

We don't sell assembled plates through Amazon. Can you post a picture of the plate, and also post a link to the page on Amazon where you bought it?

Glad you got it working.
Would you mind posting a couple of pictures of it? One of each side of the board?
