TFT 3.5 inches random fuzzy screen on Rasp Pi 3B

Post by VinceNet »

Hi,

I am using an adafruit TFT 3.5" touchscreen together with a Pi 3B with Kali linux installed on it.
After powering up and randomly, I get a fuzzy screen as follow (after the write screen):

Sometimes it would be partial screen sometimes the entire screen would be snowy.

Switching the Pi OFF and ON usually fixes the problem. If it persists, swapping the power USB usually (not garanteed) clears it out.

Do you think the screen is defective? What could be the root cause?

something is misconfigured with the screen, maybe you have it set to 2.8"? we know it works with raspbian so try that
