              So you have a Pi 1 B+ ? Go into Raspi-config and set the GPU memory to 256. The Pi 1 has 512 Mb RAM. It needs at least 64 to show any GUI, I believe.

                    @MaxHekami 2V power supply? If so, nothing will work.

                      @rbaker It's a Pi 1 B+... I think. 2A is more than enough.
