Thank you for all your help/
I will attempt the credit card method of fixing the slot before spending any more money. Really don't want to spend more money on it than I already have..

Really appreciate all the help

After leaving my Rasp Pi unused for a few weeks and returning to it this week I have found the SD card I was using has somehow stopped working and that no signal is being read on my HD TV screen. So I buy a new SD card but whilst attempting to insert this new card I inadvertently snap the SD card co...

Thank you everyone for your help. My R-Pi is now running at a suitable size which I can see :) TheBay - Thank you for sending me that link. The font that you can change through this method is the font for the programmes themselves and not the OS font size on the Desktop. Now to get the sound to work...

Thanks theBay. I have followed these instructions which has made using Linux a lot easier. I found a similar code to do this before but I didn't know how to save it.

I have tried changing the framebuffer, hdmi mode (I am using a HDMI TV) and ensured the HDMI group is set to 1 (CEA) and the font size hasn't changed one bit ...

I have found a command line to increase the font size in Linux and a solution to increase the size in X by opening config.txt. However config.txt does not open. If I open it in the text editor and ...

Thank you for all your replies. I was expecting someone to put me off the idea of buying one but that has not been the case.

Has anyone bought anything to go with the rasp pi? I have seen an electric starter kit to go with it on Amazon.

Hi all I have just joined this forum to enquire from those of you who have bought the Raspberry about who the Rasp Pi is actually aimed at. I enjoy programming with Python, although I am a novice and still learning the basics. I programme on my laptop. But as a laptop owner, what more can I get out ...
