Issue with PiTFT 2.2 & 2.4 - White Screen

Post by shafeeque »

I have bought two PiTFT 2.4 & 2.2 from a distributor.

I followed below article to set up the PiTFT in Pi 1 A+, Pi 2B & Pi 3 A+.

https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-2 ... spberry-pi
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-2-4 ... n-mini-kit

My setup is shown in the image, I have not soldered the Display, instead used the Long Stacking header to place the display. Tried with different Raspi OS mentioned in the article.

I am getting white screen color and when approached the distributor asked to contact you through the forum.

Kindly let me know what additional information is required to trouble shoot the issue.

My product warranty period is near by, so looking forward for a support at the earliest.

Thank you for the photos.

The pins in the second photo need to be soldered. If you wish to be able to remove the TFT from your Pi the normal approach is to solder a female head on the bottom side of the TFT (non-display side) and connect to the male Pi headers.
