Re: Screen goes black

I tried uncommenting just hdmi safe 1 only as Mobius had suggested but was unsuccessful. I followed Doug's advice and also uncommented hotplug and that did the trick. My old monitor is now working. It doesn't look as good as an HD TV but I can now put the Pi somewhere out of the way. Thanks to both ...

Re: Power goes on/off when pi moves

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I removed the case that came with the Vilros kit and now the power supply micro USB seems to seat itself better. I'm able to pick up the Pi and move it around without the power cutting out like it did before. Turned out to be any easy and free fix.
Thanks again!

Re: Pi doesn't like my monitor

It wasn't that the Pi wasn't booting, the problem was that I could only see the desktop for a few seconds before the screen went to black. I worked around that by plugging into a newer TV instead of the older monitors I was trying to use. They still are not working but I may have made contact with s...

Power goes on/off when pi moves

My pi 2 has the power go on and off if the case is moved in the slightest way. Is my power source bad? It's a Vilros kit I got from Amazon. Do I need to get a better power supply?
Thanks

Pi doesn't like my monitor

Just got my Pi 2 up and running but it will not work with the old VGA monitors I have. It works fine with my TV which I can connect with an HDMI cable. The monitors are being connected with an adapter. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007PLL4CK?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 One...

Screen goes black

I just got a pi 2 for me and my kids. We bought a kit http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PWYK2V6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00 on Amazon from Vilros. It came with a NOOBS sd card so I'm not sure if it had the most recent software on it or not. We were able to install Raspbian a...
