Hi Guys

I think I am being a bit stupid here but hopefully you can help. So I ordered a case from Pi Hut and a copy of Noobs. I have connected the lot together and I am seeing nothing. The Pi lights up but no touchscreen.Â

Should I connect the Pi to a monitor first, run noobs, update etc and that will make the screen work please?

Or is it broken.

Thanks

Rich

You need to connect up to a monitor (or possibly ssh in if on ethernet) and do a sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade and then reboot as it needs to load the drivers for the screen.

Check the leads are connected properly - they can slip when you pop the grips down
