3.5 PiTFT Not working?

Post by AuronJS »

Hello all!

I know that we are still waiting for official RPI v2 drivers for the 3.5" piTFT but where others have had success with the fbtft drivers (minus touch). I keep running into a weird issue where sometimes my screen works, remains completely white or other times it does this:

It has never worked from a cold boot but sometimes I can get the screen to turn on or at least display the screen clearly after rebooting a few times.

Are the 'ears' on the flat flex connector pushed all the way in?
