New to the R-Pi world and using composite video. Composite video was working while loading Raspian Wheezy OS. Received message that installation was complete and hit ENTER to proceed. Composite Video went blank. I suspect R-Pi switched to HDMI Video when Raspian Wheezy started. Since I cannot see what is being displayed, how do I change the video output back to composite? I rebooted and believe that Raspian Wheezy is running, but the composite output does not show anything. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance, USKeith.

Re: Composite Video
have a look there :

I've heard of an option about that but not verified (too lazy this morning : sorry)

Re: Composite Video
Were you using the NOOBS installer? That defaults to HDMI for any installed O.S. unless you make composite permanent, as shown here: http://www.cpmspectrepi.webspace.virgin ... ellow.htmlUSKeith wrote:New to the R-Pi world and using composite video.

Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm

Re: Composite Video
Thanks very much for your help! I did get the Pi to show video through the Composite output. After a few successful shutdown tests, it still seemed to work great!
Thanks again for your help.
