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?

Lol - never realised it already had wi-fi. Have now removed the wi-pi.
Apologies for bum steer on SD, yes it is Micro SD. Attached photos show it
is a Pi 3 B. I know yellow and green jumper wire are redundant but I
attached them anyway. Is that bad?

Hi Greg,
(Traveling so apologies for briefness)
I couldn't see any photo attached (viewing on a mobile so that could be it, if you can see it attached). There is a size limit of 2MB so if the photo is too large, it won't show up.
Thanks,

Shabaz.

You can't see the attachments because there aren't any attachments

And the limit is 10Mb, which should be good enough for all but the largest photos.

Hi Shabaz,
I thought that the 2Mb limit was in your mobile upload device; instead if it is not, as Dudley says the limit is higher so there is no image at all.

Hi Enrico!
Yeah this thread really needs a photo or two to troubleshoot the LCD problem.
