For finding and solving problems, i really recommend to connect a HDMI display to the RBPi. It will give you accurate information during the booting sequence. Also, if you connect a USB keyboard, you can login into the system and get extra information, inspect the logs, etc.

===The display don't go white in the boot stage 1===

===The display don't show the zynthian splash screen on boot===

I recommend you disconnect the controller and 2in1 modules and try to boot again.

In that case, probably the system is not booting correctly. You could try to connect a HDMI display and see if the system is booting. If you can't see the booting sequence, then you should re-burn your SD-card with the Zynthian image. Also, check that your image file is correct by using the SHA1 signature.

If the problem persist it's very probable you haven't solder correctly the side 26-pin connector. You should double check the connector and be sure that it's correctly soldered.

 

===The display don't show the zynthian splash screen in the boot stage 2===

Your hardware seems to be incorrectly configured. You should access the webconf tool and configure your hardware.

===Your controllers doesn't work===

'''More coming soon ...'''

You make a mistake while connecting the controllers or your hardware (wiring layout) is incorrectly configured. You should access the webconf tool and configure your hardware.
