7" screen not working

[ChrisC]

I ordered an assembled kit from Rob. I have plugged everything in and loaded the sketches into the Arduinos. But the screen will not light up. All the lights on the boards are on, I have tried adding power directly to the display shield plug. I checked and there is power going to the display both 3.3 and 5v. I know I am missing something, any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks

Which screen do you have? Did you use the UTouchCD file from the calibrations folder? Also, check line 47 of the display sketch and make sure the correct screen is picked and the others screens are commented out.

Should look like this:
// Uncomment the display you have, be sure the others are commented out using // at the beginning
//UTFT myGLCD(TFT01_70, 25, 26, 27, 28); // used for ElecFreaks and Sainsmart 7" Display
//UTFT myGLCD(TFT01_50, 25, 26, 27, 28); // used for ElecFreaks and Sainsmart 5" Display
UTFT myGLCD (CPLD, 25, 26, 27, 28); //For 5" and 7“ CPLD Displays

Hello ChrisC if you didn't read threw the first block of code and change that to your default screen size it could cause problems also what screen manufacture due you have if it is Sain Smart they cause a lot problems if not configured correctly

Good news I got it working, You were right the setting was wrong in the sketch. Another minor problem I ran into was I copied the Images folder to the SD card not just the images. After correcting that everything is looking good. Thanks for all your help.
