7. Tiaki
- Te horoi: Whakamahia he kakahu ngohengohe, kore karekau hei muru marie i te mata. Mo nga kohukohu pakeke, paku dampen te kakahu ki te wai, ki te horoi mata-haumaru ranei. A ape i nga matū kino, i nga taonga abrasive ranei.
- Rokiroki: Ki te kore e whakamahia, rongoatia te kete ki te wāhi hauhautanga, maroke, kia matara atu i te rā tika me te pāmahana tino kino.
- Te whakahaere: Handle the display and Raspberry Pi board with care to avoid physical damage. Avoid applying excessive pressure to the screen.
8. Te Raru
8.1 Kaore he Putanga Whakaatu
- Taki Hiko: Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the display kit and plugged into a working power outlet.
- Hononga HDMI: Verify that the HDMI cable is firmly connected between the display and the Raspberry Pi's micro-HDMI port. Try a different micro-HDMI port if available.
- Kāri SD: Confirm that the Micro SD card with a properly installed operating system is inserted correctly into the Raspberry Pi.
- Tuku Hiko: Ensure your Raspberry Pi is receiving adequate power (a 5V/3A USB-C power supply is recommended for Raspberry Pi 4).
8.2 Touch Functionality Not Working
- Hononga USB: Check that the USB-A to Micro-USB cable is securely connected from the display to a USB port on the Raspberry Pi.
- Tautoko Pūnaha Whakahaere: Confirm that your operating system supports the touch functionality of this display. While most are driver-free, some configurations might require specific settings.
- Whakaara Anō: Try rebooting the Raspberry Pi.
8.3 Screen Flickering or Instability
- Tuku Hiko: Ensure a stable and sufficient power supply is used for both the display and the Raspberry Pi.
