HX8357 white screen

Post by rna »

I am having the white screen problem with my old 3.5" HX8357, so I looked on the forum and found that others were having the same problem; (I have been using this display for months without any problems).
I just purchased another HX8357 (received today, 2023/01/25) thinking it was my problem.
I am up-to-date on Arduino and the libraries.
The sample sketch "graphicstest.ino" runs with the correct output on the serial monitor, but the HX8357 screen is completely white.
Is there a solution yet?

Post a photo showing your hardware and connections and we'll take a look. 800x600 images usually work best.

After I took the photos, I plugged everything in again and it is now working!
It must have been one or more of the connections.
Thank you.
