Creed Board issue

So I bought a secondhand Creed here in the BST.

My problem is that the oled board won't turn on at all. The screen just remains black and trying to charge it doesn't work either.

Hey thanks for the input. I actually have it plugged into my laptop now and its connected and the drivers installed (just basic COM3) as well. The oled still refuses to light up though.

PS. I love your markers pjerzy1 especially the Creed.

Unplug your battery for 15 min and reinstall. Make sure all chargers are disconnect when doing so to reset the board.

I went ahead and removed the battery from the board and let it sit overnight. I tried using my computer to charge and still nothing on the OLED.

Then u either have a bad battery or board.
Do you have a way to test the voltage of the battery. Dont want u to have to buy a battery when its the board.
Maybe take to radio shack or something and have them test the battery voltage then u know which one it is.

My guess with out testing that the board is no good.

Looks like I'll be investing in a board then.

Thank you Eric!

Take 2 pieces of wire and a lightbulb from your car(.or go buy one for a dollar ) and test the battery. See if the battery lights up the bulb. This is an easy test to see if battery has voltage.

I took the battery to my computer guy and he said the battery is good.
