I use this Raspberry 3b as a dakboard that will display my information every day until 11pm and then turn itself off. For years, the setup was perfect and was not touched or changed.
One day the screen went black. I rebooted the Raspberry Pi, noticed that it would show the rainbow screen and then the "Welcome to Raspberry Pi" screen and then shoot straight to black afterwards.
I re-imaged the Raspberry Pi OS using the 64-bit recommended specs twice, but the result is the same. I can ssh into the Raspberry Pi, but I can't see anything on screen after 'Welcome to Raspberry Pi'.
I've updated the firmware and tried editing the config.txt to have hdmi_force_hotplug=1 and finagled with the resolution settings in the txt file to no avail.
Is there something else I have not tried yet?
