Hello Roberto, I've been out of the game for awhile and I am finally getting back in. I recently had to replace the RA board because of some water damage. I ordered the RA board not the RA+ because I had everything coded the way I wanted on the RA and I figured I could do it again without the upgrade. So I installed the initial memory and tried to reload my code, and it says sketch is too big. So I go to RA wizard and create a basic program and now the screen is acting squirly. It comes on for a couple of seconds after the install then it gets crazy with black lines and then goes out. I think I have a Gen 2 screen (not positive, I will have to look when I get home). I know there have been issues in the past with the screens. Please help.

Thanks
Dave

I forgot to add, the green power led is not on anymore either.

Does the red led blink 3 times when you initially power it on?

The red led flashes and the screen goes on for a couple seconds then goes blank.

Does it draw the normal screen in the first few seconds?

I think so, its kinda hard to tell because it goes out so quickly.

So, I have the Gen 3 screen and I got the green led to come on. I must have bumped it when I put the screen in the
New board. Anyway, after rebooting, the screen does display the basic program then it just goes black. The joystick works and I can go into feeding mode, etc. but then it just goes black after about 5 secs.

After it goes black, can you go into feeding mode too?
Push joystick 2 times would go into feeding mode. I want to know if the controller is still working or it is just the screen.

Yes

Sorry, yes I can go into feeding mode.

It seems that the screen is bad too then.
Maybe it got messed up when the other board went bad too.

That's possible. Can I order just a new screen?

Heap. Get it in the webstore

Gotcha. Thanks for the help. I'll be back soon.
