Display broken or firmware issue?

PicoCalc

Hi,
After replacing it with pico2w and installing micropyhton, nothing is displayed on the display. Even if I switch back to the original pico, nothing is displayed.
Therefore, I want to distinguish whether the monitor cable is broken or the firmware is a problem.
Will it return to the factory firmware if I just write PicoCalc_PicoMate_v1.1_pico2.uf2 found here?

thanks,

I often forget to replug the display cable. I guess you double checked.

Also, you can use minicom or similar to see if you get output on the serial line (usb C connector).

Also, if I remember correctly, first time I uploaded micropython, I had forgotten to copy the .py files to the internal flash, and the screen was showing nothing.

TO check if is device broken

I recommend to use pico1 ,with this firmware

For pico2w and micropython

here is a quick try pre-compiled verison, all you have to do is just flash the uf2 into pico2w and that’s all, these quick try pre-compiled uf2 already contained main.py

here is the pico2w micropython uf2 file:

If all above uf2 failed to work,then there must be something wrong with device
