Issues with 7" LCD

Hi, I'm trying to set up one of your LCD monitors on my pi 3. Have checked and re-checked the connectors and they are correct. Have updated and upgraded the os. And have added ignore_lcd=0 to /boot/config.txt. I am starting the pi with no HDMI screen connected - just the LCD via its connectors. Admittedly I'm a noob but I've done everything my multiple searches have uncovered and still there is no life in the screen. Nothing. Am beginning to think it's the screen and not me.

Can you please help?

Greg,

Not knowing fully what you have or have not tried, when you running the following, do you get anything in response?

dmesg | grep -i FT5

You should see something like this.

dmesg | grep -i FT5 [ 2.288627] rpi-ft5406 rpi_ft5406: Probing device [ 2.289205] input: FT5406 memory based driver as /devices/virtual/input/input0

Also, check the rest of the 'dmesg' output to see if there are any errors listed.
Cheers,

Jon
