How to Install 3.5 Inch LCD on Raspberry Pi - Super Easy Way (In 3 Minutes)

This is a GPIO based LCD screen for pi which is easy to be install , all you have to do just plug the screen to the GPIO pins and power up your pi. Then you will find your lcd is nit working , there is only white screen. To fix the white screen problem you have to connect your HDMI monitor to pi and you have to put some codes in the terminal.

After installing the LCD you will not be able to get the display on the monitor , in my video i am also showing how to get display back to the monitor from LCD.

Didn't work, now the pi won't show anything on the screen or my monitor

thankyou very much. For those wondering the old Waveshare Rev A screens work with this. Thank you from Australia! I used to battle with these TFT screens years ago when they first came out!

спасибо Друг. Два дня я не мог подключить экран, как только зашёл к Вам на сайт, через три минуты экран заработал.

Pro tip: enable ssh before uploading this code and make sure you connect your pi with a network before uploading this code, if something goes wrong and u aren't connected to wifi or not enabled ssh then you'll have to format your sd card .

Quick thanks from Finley, Australia. Followed your guide, job done. Working a treat. Cheers

[fabriziofioralli]

Just installed in my RPI4 without problems. Really simple. I was afraid to loose the VNC desktop connection, but fortunately it still works. Thanks for all!

Is there a way to have screen displayed on BOTH the LCD touch screen AND the HDMI monitor? I could really use that. thanx
