+'''7.''' Before installing the "RPi5 + thermal block" assembly in the main board, you must bend the display cable adequately, so it goes in the right direction. You must bend it twice, putting attention to the pictures and using your "common sense". Indeed, it's not difficult if you already did it, but as it's probably the first time, you could have doubts.

−Zynthian V5.1 gets a 25% extra power from the RPi5 by overclocking the CPU up to 3 GHz. For this to work properly, we need to remove the heat generated by the RPi5's components. As we don't want a noisy fan, prone to failure, pushing dust inside our nice case, we are using the aluminum case as a huge heat-sink. This is achieved by the thermal block, a solid aluminum block that closely contacts with the RPi5's chips and serves as a heat-highway to the aluminum case bottom, and from there, to the rest of the aluminum case. When your zynthian V5.1 is working hard, or when external temperature is high enough, you will note the aluminum case getting hot. This is good because it means the thermal block is doing its job of transferring heat from the inside to the aluminum case body, where it's dissipated to the ambient environment.

+'''7.''' Before installing the "RPi5 + thermal block" assembly in the main board, you must fold the display cable adequately, so it goes in the right direction. You must fold it twice, putting attention to the pictures and using your "common sense". The first fold is straight and the second one is at 45º, so you get the cable going out the RPi5 with the text "Display-cable-200mm" on the down side. We show several pictures from different angles. Zoom in as needed until you have clear how to proceed. Take your time and think twice to do once.

+{{NoteBox|Probably you are thinking that we could use longer cables so these final steps would be easier. And you are right, it would be easier to assemble, but the resulting device wouldn't be so good. Longer cables means more EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference). The DSI signal coming out the RPi is specially noisy and although the DSI cable we use already include some EMI shielding, the audio circuitry is close, just a few centimeters, and we prefer to reduce EMI to the minimum. Think that you assemble your zynthian once, but you (hopefully!) will use it for years and i'm pretty sure you want the highest quality of sound, so it's worth the extra effort to connect shorter cables.}}

+* '''If the display remains black''', you should check the display cable connection.
+* '''If you get the ERROR screen''', most probably your control board is not being detected and you should check the control-1 cable connection.
+You should check both sides of connection. Check that orientation is correct, the cable is well inserted and the connector totally closed. If it still doesn't work, you could look for damaged cable contacts, solder bridges on the PCB connectors, etc.

+{{WarningBox|AFTER A FAILED FIRST BOOT, YOU SHOULD NOT BOOT AGAIN WITH THE SAME SD-CARD AS IT IS.}}

+If hardware can't be detected, the SD-card is configured as "custom hardware" and first boot is disabled. You must re-burn the SD-card or reset the SD-card from the terminal with this command:
+ set_first_boot.sh
+You can reach the terminal from webconf or using SSH.
+From the terminal, you can check the first boot log with this command:
+ cat /root/first_boot.log
+This could help you to understand what is going wrong. You should include this log when asking for help in the forum.
+Also, when reporting first boot issues, it could be very helpful to include the output of this command:
