7. Dépannage
- Interférences Wi-Fi : Some users have reported potential Wi-Fi interference when the display is connected to a Raspberry Pi 4. Ensure proper spacing between the display and the Raspberry Pi using the provided standoffs. If issues persist, consider using an external Wi-Fi dongle.
- DSI Cable Length: The included DSI cable is designed for direct mounting of the Raspberry Pi to the display. If your setup requires the Raspberry Pi to be mounted further away, a longer DSI cable may be necessary and can be purchased separately.
- Orientation de l'affichage : If the display image is inverted, check for a physical switch on the display board (if applicable to your version) or consult Raspberry Pi documentation for software-based display rotation settings.
- Problèmes d'alimentation électrique : Ensure your Raspberry Pi's power supply is adequate when the display is connected. An insufficient power supply can lead to instability or display issues. A 12V 2-5A power supply is often recommended for setups involving a Raspberry Pi and display.
8. Entretien
- Nettoyage: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently clean the screen surface. For stubborn smudges, a small amount of screen cleaner designed for electronics can be applied to the cloth (not directly to the screen).
- Manutention: Avoid applying excessive pressure to the screen. When handling the display, hold it by the edges to prevent damage to the screen or internal components.
- Environnement: Operate the display in a clean, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
