No composite video on Raspberry Pi Zero W
-
So I am currently trying to get composite video to work on my Raspberry Pi Zero W. I am using a 5v 550mA micro-usb power supply to power it and a 12v 1a power supply to power the screen. Here is a link to the screen I am using https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0045IIZKU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here is the wiring I am following http://imgur.com/a/k6cCM
I have tried putting a new version of Retropie on a micro sd card and nothing changes. I can confirm that the screen works because I have hooked up a Gamecube to it and it works fine. I have also hooked up the Raspberry Pi Zero W to my computer monitor via mini hdmi and it works fine. Any help is appreciated.

@lFestiva Please aways connect ground to ground pin on GPIO and not TV header. This prevents using your Pi's TV out pin as ground for LCD. Try using the pin on the outer side for composite out (marked black in your link).

Thanks for the tip, but it didn't seem to affect anything. Is there a possibility that the TV header is fried?

Can you show me your latest wiring
