7" TFT-LCD Monitor w/ Raspberry Pi

Post by Heidecker »

Hello everyone!

We are creating a Photo Booth using these instructions from LifeHacker. We purchased this 7" TFT-LCD monitor which is mentioned as an option in the project. We have not been able to get a signal from the Raspberry Pi (model B). The SD card has been formatted and we have installed Raspbian using an HDMI cable with a different external monitor. We also set up the system to boot to the GUI. When we attach the 7" monitor via VGA, all we get is a blue screen with the message "NO SIGNAL" on both AV1 and AV2 channels. I will attach a picture of our setup to give you an idea of what we have going on. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey!

Sorry for the month late response! We ended up solving the problem by holding shift while booting to boot into install mode. You can then switch displays by pressing 1-4 on your keyboard. Thanks for the help!
