Troubleshooting
My keyboard and trackpad
are not working.
Make sure the USB dongle in the pi-top is properly inserted into the Raspberry Pi as this is what
communicates with the Keyboard and Trackpad.
My LED is not lighting
up.
i. The 3v3 power connects to the positive side (longer leg) and the Ground should be connected
to the negative side (shorter leg).
ii. Other components with directional problems:
iii. Diodes, Buttons
Button not working? Try using a jumper cable to bypass the button (connect it to the start of the next component). If
the circuit works, then there is a problem with the Button which can be solved by disconnecting
it and rotating it 90 degrees.

Is your pi-topPROTO+ aligned with the correct pins? Check that the 34 pin connector is properly
aligned with the 34 pin connected in the pi-top.
GPIO pins are not working.
Is there power running
through the pi-topPROTO+?
i. Ensure jumper cable connects from the 3v3 GPIO to the breadboard on the row with the first
component.
ii. Ensure the final component on the inventor’s kit has a jumper cable that connects to the
Ground GPIO on the breadboard.
There is no power running
through my components.
