===Double-check part's assembling and wiring===
===Double-check the parts and wiring===
It's easy to make a mistake while assembling the parts or connecting the wires. Some errors can be dangerous for the electronic components (short-circuits, some specific bad-wiring combinations) so it's better to be sure that everything is correctly assembled and connected.

Pay attention to ribbon bus connection and verify that red wire is on pin 1 for every connector. Pay attention to the audio jack connectors and make sure they are connected correctly to the Hifiberry sound card.

When you are sure that everything is in its place, it's time to boot the machine, so:
When you are sure that everything is in its place, it's time to boot the machine:
1. Insert the SD-card with the zynthian image ready to run. If you don't have one yet, [[#Zynthian_Software|read this]]. You can insert the SD-card through the "window" on the bottom-side of the case. Also, if the case is still open, you can do it from the top.

If you don't get an error screen or a blank screen, bad luck! Probably you made some mistake during the mounting process. You have to [[#Locating_and_Solving_problems|locate and solve the problem(s)]].

If you are using the Aruk RC-3 SD image (you should!), you will note that the controllers are not working at all. This SD image is pre-configured for working with the kit v2, so you need to configure the software for working with the kit v3. The simplest way of doing it is using the webconf tool:
