Raspberry Pi 4 Black Screen with Lakka Setup

Hai everyone,

I recently set up a Raspberry Pi 4 following the Lakka website’s instructions. I downloaded the correct image, flashed it using Etcher, enabled hdmi_safe=1, and inserted the SD card. Upon powering up, I consistently get a black screen—not “no signal,” just black.

I have repeated the process several times, using different Lakka images, including nightly builds, but the issue remains. Other operating systems like NOOBS and Raspbian work flawlessly, ruling out hardware issues.

Has anyone encountered this? Any advice on resolving the all black screen with Lakka would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
