LCD display not turning on - STM32MP135F-DK

I just received my STM32MP135F-DK in the mail today. I was able to use STM32CubeProgrammer v2.16.0 to populate the device using the Starter Package, which I downloaded from here:

https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stm32mp1starter.html#st-get-software

The file I downloaded was named:

en.flash-stm32mp1-openstlinux-6-1-yocto-mickledore-mp1-v23-06-21.tar.gz

And the file that I used in the STM32CubeProgrammer to download the firmware to the device was named:

FlashLayout_sdcard_stm32mp135f-dk-optee.tsv

After downloading the firmware to the device and toggling the switches to the correct mode, I powered up the device and the display never turned on. However, I was able to open a terminal on the device through the serial connection.

Everything seems to be working fine as far as the terminal is concerned. I even managed to connect the device to my home network and SSH into it.

The LCD display shows no signs of life. I've never seen the splash screen, or even a flicker out of it. There is no backlight turning on.

I tried flashing it with the Starter Package version 4.1.0 instead of 5.0.0, but I'm getting the same result.

I'd appreciate some help getting this device working. Does this sound like a hardware issue? Or perhaps the screen is defective on this device?

Hi @ChrisCrossCrash ,

 

This looks indeed abnormal, seems your board is defective. 

I recommand you to contact your distributor to get a new board
