Review on Raspberry Pi 7-inch Touch Screen Display by Sasha Kupchin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good presentation! Negative reviews, have you made the necessary updates?

Bought one of these the other day. I'm very happy with it so far. Now I can work with the Pi without distracting the TV! Since the kit didn't come with assembly instructions, I researched it on Google. I found a YouTube video that explains how to wire everything. Really very easy assembly. I thought that was all I had to do, but I was wrong. I turned it on, but unfortunately there is no display. Further research on Google led me to a couple of very important steps that most bad reviewers are bound to overlook. After connecting the display, YOU MUST PERFORM THE UPDATE! As long as your new display is assembled and connected, you still need to connect the pi to your TV via the HDMI port to complete the update. After it has loaded and you are at the command prompt, you need to run the following commands in the order given. Allow each one to finish before running the next command. Each command can take 10 minutes or more to run. After running the last restart command, you can unplug the HDMI cable and your display will work. sudo apt-get updates sudo apt-get upgrades sudo reboot

Pros
  • Hands-free working
Cons
  • A long time ago
