Hi!! DS got a Pi for Xmas. Model B with Noobs sd card. He 1st set it up with his projector with yellow video cable as he was at grandparents and all worked fine. Projector is now out of order so we need to display it on something else.
We've tried to connect it by HDMI cable but all we get is a rainbow screen of colours (enlarged pixel I believe) this happened whether we connected it to various TVs and or via HDMI/vga cable to my monitor.
Have tried to connect it to tv via yellow video cable but nothing at all.
I am now at a loss. I've tried the raspberry pi websites forums etc but I'm afraid a lot of it goes over my head. DS is the tech wizz in our house but this sadly is up to me to sort out!!
Does anyone have any helpful hints they can suggest - we did find tips where it suggested going into the text of the sd card via a pc and adding a bit of code in the configure txt or something but noobs doesn't actually reveal this configure txt bit so I am completely at a loss.
I don't know if we've corrupted the card and to get another noobs card or will the problem still be the same?????
I'm also slightly scared of trying to reformat my current sd card. If I just buy a blank one and download do we get noobs or will same problem happen....?
Pleeeeeeeeeeeease help!!
Please be gentle. I know very little.
