Ok, so have gotten somewhere.
But the display is really bad. I seen people kind of allude to quality issues. But how did you fix it?
After turning it on, got this
Even though I thought it would be black text on white
Restarted again and now its sitting here
If anyone can give me any advise, would really appreciate it
