      I’ve tried it on another tv with the hdmi hookup and powers up and runs fine I try it on my other tv and all I can hear is the sound and music but no picture, I’d really love any help at all because I need to be running it off that tv, it’s been frustrating, thank you!

        Please post photos and some more details about your setup.

        Also post your config.txt file

          @jay247 are you using the same hdmi cable? Also is this tv possibly only 720p and the other is 1080p?

            @edmaul69 it is the same hdmi cable for both TVs, I also read the manual for the tv and it supports both so I’m lost

                @jay247 in the config.txt if it has it, you could remove the # in front of the hdmi_boost= line and change it to hdmi_boost=4 then reboot and see if that works.

                  @edmaul69 so this is how the config.txt reads now... # for more options and information see# http://rpf.io/configtxt# some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details# uncomment if you get no picture on hdmi for a def drive=2# uncomment to increase signal to hdmi, if you have interference, blanking, orno displayconfig_hdmi_boost=4# uncomment for composite PAL#sdtv_mode=2#uncomment to overclock the arm. 7
