If everything is working OK, then you should read the [[Zynthian_Users_Guide|User's Guide]] and start enjoying your Zynthian Box, but before that ... why not trying another preset? Connect your MIDI keyboard and try this:

If you are using the official Zynthian SD Image, the first thing you should do after booting up your Zynthian Box and having the controllers working OK is update the software:
   −
  - connect the Zynthian Box to your router using a RJ45 cable
+
  - connect your Zynthian Box to your router using an ethernet cable
  - '''update zynthian software''' from the admin menu
+
  - from the admin menu, click '''update software'''
  - '''update zynthian library''' from the admin menu
+
  - from the admin menu, click '''restart UI''' (or '''reboot''')
- '''restart GUI''' (or '''reboot''') from the admin menu
      
The update process can take some time. Be patient. If you get some ERROR message while updating, please, [https://discourse.zynthian.org/t/problems-updating-the-software-from-the-admin-menu/386 ask in the forum]. You can send a photo or description of the error message.

You can also update the software using the webconf tool, or from the command line.

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.

===You get the zynthian error screen with the IP===

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.

Finally, i have included here some detailed schemes. People hacking the standard Zynthian design would find it very useful. Also, if you have some problem and need to "debug", you would find it useful too.
