PyGamer impossible to see

Post by auralgami »

Hi,

I bought a PyGamer Starter Kit (Invoice 2647097).

After putting it together, I can see the PyGamer turn on - the neopixels light up and I can hear a sound. But I can't see anything.

I was able to successfully download the Run, Blinka Run game (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-pyg ... on-pybadge) and I can hear it, but I can't see it. If I put the PyGamer in a dark space and shine my phone's light on it, I can barely see graphics.

I don't see any way to change the brightness settings.

Thanks,
Michael Sarris

The backlight isn't working for some reason.

There's isn't an easy way to check on the problem, or potentially fix it.

Please email [email protected] with a link to this thread, your order number, and request the replacement of one PyGamer.
