No Wifi.
I assumed I would have to set up Wifi once I got going
I'm trying to check out if the duff screen has damaged the pi. It is a small screen which plugs directly on the the first half of the pins.
There is no obvious damage so am checking the pins as best I can (I have limited tools, both mental and physical)
Any suggestions as what else I can try?
If you have a network then follow these steps to get the Pi to connect, then you can use realvnc to view the desktop and go from there >>

Briefly, put the sd card back in your laptop and create a file in /boot called wpa_supplicant.conf
with this >
Code:
country=US # Your 2-digit country code
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
network={
ssid="YOUR_NETWORK_NAME"
psk="YOUR_PASSWORD"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
Code:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="****"
psk="****"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}
Then reboot and the Pi should log on.
Or use the headless image.
