Pi5 and touch screen help
Ok, I’ll be the first to admit I’m not very familiar with the Pi ecosystem. I’m still trying to learn to use my Pi 5 for my digital dash project.
I’m currently using pi lite and the Official 7 inch touch screen.
The problem I’m having is that the screen comes on with the backlight only. No text, no images, nothing.
If I plug the pi5 via micro hdmi to hdmi into a monitor I can see the code. But the touch screen is just a blank grey screen. The backlight is ok but nothing else.
I know I have the cables right, I’m using a display cable, and I have the jumpers right.
Please help
