TinyTV & Tiny Video Player / Re: Is it broken?

No it's not meant for scoring, just to add more bling to the playfield, so as it is currently setup I'm not using the speaker. Pinball modding is quite popular within the community and I did this as a proof of concept to show to others. Ideally a slightly larger display would be more appropriate, but your product helped me show the idea. There are other display modifications used but the flexibility of being able to put what you like on the SD card made your product more appealing.

You can see it in action here, just a modification I was contemplating for a pinball machine. Thanks again for your help. https://youtu.be/WHKOZL4aHBc

All fixed now, but not sure how. Out of desperation tried uploading various programs and the arcade one brought it to life. After this I no longer needed to go into bootloader mode before the com port would be accessible so at this point I uploaded the video program and everything is working as expected.

I tried a different sd card, correctly formatted and there wasn't a difference. As said previously the only thing ever displayed is the bootloader text when the top left button is pressed. "Done uploading" does not appear or "SD card not detected". If the bootloader is corrupted is there an easy way to reflash is to factory defaults?

I have not yet added the kit to the TV enclosure as I wanted to test it first. Nothing appears on the screen except if I go into bootloader mode. I have also tried an alternative SD card with your same standard files.

Recently received a Tiny TV and its possibly broken. I cannot get it to play any files using the charged battery or USB. When connecting to the computer it will only appear as a com port if I specifically hold the top left button when powering on, after which it displays, 'TinyScreen+ Bootloader Mode'. I can then communicate using the Arduino IDE and have uploaded the TinyTV.ino package, but still without any luck. The sd card is readable on a PC and tsv files are present. Also have tried the settings menu, holding the top right button when powering but nothing is displayed.

obviously something is working in order to get the bootloader screen, but that is as far as I can get

Any ideas?
Thanks
