- The LCD ribbon is not secured. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sch5ZW1idz4
- The SD image you are using is not the one we provided on the Google Drive. If you use the one supplied by RetroPie, you will not get support for the LCD, Power Button, or built-in GPA buttons.
- You aren't holding the power button on long enough. Hold it until the green light comes on (but you must be using our SD image).
- Your Raspberry Pi is upside-down (which seems unlikely).
Do you have a way to plug in via HDMI? That can help track down the problem.
If you plug in power directly to the Raspberry Pi, does it power up?
Maybe the first thing would be to post some photos of the setup, so we can see if there's anything obviously wrong.
Thank you for your response!
When I plug it into the wall, it does not power up -- I just see a blue light that stays on.
As for the image that I'm using, it is the one from the Google Drive.
I even wrote it to the SD card using ApplePi Baker. Is there a different format that I should be using for the SD card?I'll attach some pics tomorrow, right now I'm hesitant to take it apart since I've been working on the build almost all afternoon.
