8. Depanare

8.1 Display Not Showing or Incorrect Resolution on Raspberry Pi

If the display is not showing correctly or the resolution is off when connected to a Raspberry Pi, you may need to modify the /boot/config.txt file. This is a common step for non-standard resolutions.

1. Accesați config.txt file on your Raspberry Pi's SD card.
2. Adăugați următoarele rânduri la sfârșitul textului file. These settings are for a 1024x576 resolution, which often works well without disabling 3D acceleration:

# 5-inch Elecrow 800x480 option
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_drive=2
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
display_rotate=0
dtparam=audio=on
hdmi_cvt=800 480 60 6 0 0 0

For touch functionality, ensure the following line is also present or added:

dtoverlay=ads7846,cs=1,penirq=25,penirq_pull=2,speed=50000,keep_vref_on=0,swapxy=0,pmax=255,xohms=150,xmin=200,xmax=3900,ymin=200,ymax=3900

After modifying, save the file and reboot your Raspberry Pi.

8.2 No Sound or Audio Issues

If you experience audio issues, particularly on Raspberry Pi, it might be related to PulseAudio. Consider purging PulseAudio if it's installed and causing conflicts:

sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio

Asigura dtparam=audio=on is set in your config.txt file.

8.3 Ecranul tactil nu răspunde

Ensure the USB cable for touch functionality is securely connected to both the monitor and your device. For Raspberry Pi, verify the dtoverlay line for the touchscreen driver is correctly added to config.txt. For Windows, ensure the display is recognized as a touch panel in your system settings.

8.4 Screen Appears Washed Out or Poor Quality

While the monitor offers good performance for its class, some users might find the display quality to be basic compared to higher-end screens. Adjusting the backlight and contrast settings (if available) can help. Ensure your device's display output settings match the monitor's native 800x480 resolution for the clearest image.
