Certain Modules Making Screen Blank
-
Ok do this… keep your config.js and rename it to config.bak
Take the config.js.sample file and copy it to config.js and restart…
If everything runs fine then we go from there one module at a time to figure out which one is causing the issue for you.

@cowboysdude I’ve done that, but it’s still doing the same thing.
-
This has been driving me crazy for a couple of days now - if we can’t find a solution, would it be worth me starting over? As in, completely re-formatting my SD card, reinstalling Magic Mirror and all? I may not have formatted my SD card correctly the first time, which is making me wonder if that’s the issue.
I’m only a few days into doing this, so it wouldn’t be that big a deal if it were likely to fix it.

@efk4 You’re not getting any errors so it’s hard to tell why it’s happening… would love to take a look at your setup…
-
@cowboysdude What’s annoying me the most is the fact that I haven’t altered anything major in the code - it’s pretty much all as downloaded. The only thing I’ve changed is main.css, when I changed the background from black to a picture.
Thank you for taking a look at it and giving me advice - I think I’m just going to start over and hope for the best. Thanks for your time!
-
@efk4 Yeah that’s a good idea. It’s never a good idea to change any of the files…
Next time use the custom.css to enter your background… You may have created an issue you aren’t aware of and CSS either works or doesn’t… doesn’t throw too many errors LOL
-
Oh, awesome thank you. I wasn’t too sure whether to use custom.css or main.css - obviously I made the wrong choice haha. Thank you for the advice :)
-
@efk4 trial and error my friend… trial and error LOL
-
I redid everything and followed the step-by-step tutorial in the forum, and it all works perfectly now! Thanks so much for your help!
-
@efk4 Glad you got it working. I’m thinking something didn’t take when you installed it the first time :)
