Hmmm, could be. Did the screen do anything prior to flashing and booting? Or while plugged into the computer?
I haven’t had it plugged into the computer, I just bought the board. It only flashes the lights and the lcd stays blue until I turn it off

I know it’s a bit of a “thing” that happens, but i havent run into it myself so im not sure what to do to fix it, other than the obvious, is it plugged in correctly and defined correctly. If so, perhaps try installing the firmware again to see if it clears the issue.

Im suspecting you have it defined correctly, but it never hurts to be double sure.

How do I make sure it’s defined?

I believe its in configuration.h look up
REPRAP_DISCOUNT_SMART_CONTROLLER
Or
REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER
Is your screen “prusa” style or “ender” style?

To make sure its defined correctly, you 1 have the right screen you own selected (remove the //) and 2 no other screens are defined
You want
REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER
Also double confirming it isnt touch screen, like tft somewhere on it?

I haven’t tried, but id suspect they should. If its correctly defined then its like you swapping monitors on your computer. Unless you have a fancy screen like from the cr10spro which is touchscreen and takes its own firmware.
K ender 3 screen doesn’t work, what app can I use to edit the screen code?
Ik that it is using marlin I just don’t know how to edit/ flash marlin
