Greetings… Purchased a Raspberry Pi 5 along with an OSOYOO 5-inch DSI screen to build a music streamer. The screen is blank and does not turn on after installing both the touch display plugin and the most recent version of the volumio operating system. Kindly help me how to fix this.

Hey @Naveen,

Start again from a fresh image. Do not make any changes other than:

  1. Add to the /boot/userconfig.txt (create if not present) dtoverlay=rpi-ft5406
  2. Instal touchscreen plugin
  3. Reboot

Kind Regards,

Try adding

dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch

to “/boot/userconfig.txt”:

  1. Connect to Volumio via SSH as described here.

  2. Run

    echo dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch >> /boot/userconfig.txt

  3. Reboot.

Try the suggested overlay nonetheless. In this case size should not matter. And don’t edit the name to “…-5inch” or something.

P.S. I corrected my previous post as the suggested command was incomplete. It has to read

echo dtoverlay=vc4-kms-dsi-7inch >> /boot/userconfig.txt

Thank you so much for this. I was troubleshooting for hours before I came across this. Created an account just so I could thank you. Was about to return by pi 5

As an FYI I suffered through multiple Waveshare screens to work with Volumio but this worked straight out of the box with zero modifications needed:
