Hi,

Hi @Tyrrh!
-
What SD image are you using? Is it the last one “Gorgona Next”?
-
Have you checked that the screen is connected in the right position? Note that you could connect the screen reversed …
-
Have you tried to connect an HDMI display to the RBPi connector? Can you describe what you see? A photo would be nice …
Regards,
Hi,
sorry for the delay, i solved my problem with a new ribbon cable
Hi @Tyrrh!
Have you built your own ribbon cable? Can you send a photo?
Anyway, i would like to refund you for the broken ribbon, so please, if you could send me the broken ribbon for analyzing, i will refund you the cost of this part. As we aren’t hurry, you can send it inside an envelope, as a standard postcard for cheaper shipping.
Regards,
First post here, I am gathering parts to build my own Zynthian, and happened to notice the ribbon cable is the same type/configuration as an old legacy PC IDE HDD cable.
Theoretically if you can find a dual drive IDE cable, it should do the job.
Yep
I made a simple building documentation here: http://wiki.zynthian.org/index.php/Build_a_Zynthian#Alternative_cabling

It does the job…
I had the same problem with ribbon cable a few times already. They are very delicate as is seems.
