Hello everyone,
I have the 2G/32G LP . When I use the LP with the Waveshare 7.9 inch HDMI touch screen, the screen disappears completely after the tearing. When I run LP with another screens it works fine and
the Waveshare screen is working properly when I use it with another PC.
I tested hardware and software for a long time,
I changed the screen resolution settings, update drivers and gave 5V- 5.7V/ 2A - 3A to the input of the LP but
I could not find the problem. I wonder the CPU display driver used in this version is supported or not, if I switch LP 2G/32G to Alpha 800 series the problem will disappear?

Have you tried re-plug the HDMI cable?Or restart the board? We've been in a similar case once, but it is becasue the problem of compatibility,so it need plug on the board then power the board.

It sounds strange, HDMI should be a standard video interface. Try set display setting only on HDMI screen.

Hello, I also have the problem with the 7.9 inch display, but I use the 4G / 64G. does the LP support the resolution of 400x1280p? The LP runs in combination with the display for about 1 minute, then the image flickers and then it is only blue. I think after that the LP is also in a boot loop, the red LED goes on and off again and again and I can only start it again after I have switched the power off and on again.
