2.8" 320x240 TFT w/ touchscreen for Pi is Blank White

Post by jigawatt »

I went through all the steps getting the correct OS with TFT capabilities and I can't get anything to show up but an all white screen. I first tried this with the Model B Pi. I have since given away for a christmas present (which went over well). I now have the B+ and havent tried it on this Pi. Is it able to work on the B+ model? If so, can you send me a link the OS that has the TFT touchscreen capabilities already installed? I would upload a picture of the screen all white but as i said I already gave that Pi away. However i did post a pic of my soldering.

It works on the B+ and you can get the PiTFT image in the learn.adafruit.com section. Do you have the resistive or capacitive touchscreen (what's the product number)

OK, so i have SDFormatter and Win32DiskImager. I downloaded this image PiTFT28R-140909-140918. Formatted my 8gig SD card with SDFormatter. Wrote the image with Win32DiskImager and the run. Screen starts off white, then goes dark(but not off, backlight still on), then back to white. Thoughts?

Could you post the output of dmesg and could you post a picture of the connection on the back?

When I type this in:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo mv /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf ~
I get this:
mv: cannot stat `/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf': No such file or directory

Does this file actually exist? /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-fbturbo.conf' Have you tried the latest version from this page? https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-8 ... sy-install

No, not that version yet. The other "easy install" wasnt so easy for me for some reason. I'll give it a try and repost. thanks

So I tried the PiTFT image. It appears not to be working. My screen turns white when power is applied to Pi. After a few seconds the white pixels turn off while the backlight stays on. Then nothing. I feel I tried everything, from latest PiTFT images to installing from standard Rasbian image.

I've re-touched/soldered all vias/pins. Still nothing. At this point I'd like to send back the screen and get a new one. I've had this thing for almost 6 months and I would like to use it. I tried everything and I keep running into issues and I think its due to something out of my control..
