RPi4 White screen on startup

[G-rig]

Hi guys,

Just getting a white screen all of a sudden. I chose restart device from the device itself (I’ve got the official pi screen) and not getting far since. I have unplugged both power supplies and plugged in again but getting the following, followed by a white screen then goes blank.

Was hoping for an easy fix, may unplug everything and reseat the SD card perhaps?
Thanks,

Just an update, although I did a fresh SD card install the setup is only working again when I disconnected the screen. I’m thinking it could be faulty or stuffed up - a little bit of googling shows it may be a warranty claim? It doesn’t exactly add much to the setup anyway so could go back to a hidden Pi.

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks,

Check if this applies to you:

[PLUGIN] YouTube2

Updated v1.1.2, which addresses this: For unfortunate souls who installed a previous version and now has an unresponsive Volumio, you can try the following: Wait and see if the issue clears itself. While appearing unresponsive, the plugin (more precisely, the underlying YouTube.js library) is actually trying to parse an YT authentication script. It will fail eventually but it could take many, many hours. Once Volumio becomes responsive again, uninstall the plugin immediately. Don’t try to di…

You need to remove old version of both YouTube2 and YT Music plugins, if you have them installed.

Thanks for replying, I connected the screen again and isn’t working but my setup works without the screen connected. I started from fresh so don’t have those plugins loaded. I’ve emailed the company I bought the screen from, as I don’t know why it would suddenly do this. All I remember doing is powering the pi down from the power off icon from the screen

So the support person at Pi Aus said to tart with a new image from
Raspberry Pi OS – Raspberry Pi as it’s the ‘best way to debug the screen’

This worked fine on a new SD card (Pi Desktop). Guess will try formatting and loading Volumio again - it doesn’t seem to like the Raspberry Pi Imager. Funny thing is I can see the Pi and DAC, and login on desktop, just doesn’t get past that welcome to volumio screen on the device.

Edit: We’re in business. Was overthinking it. I didn’t install the screen plugin again. Not sure how it stuffed up but all good .

Thanks,
