You don't need internet connection to test. But you need a keyboard to go to console and type the command line.

You can stack them together if you'r gentle it's ok, I usually use insulated metallic wire that I put through both PCB holes to tight the PCB together.

Do you have v1.1 or v1.2 or the PCB? If it's 1.2 you have the "lightning bolt" button that is already a GPIO button. About GPIO you can use any but the 2 that are connected to sound (18 and 13). Spare PCB can be purchased on the component section of the website : https://www.8bcraft.com/pr...

On pi zero the script launch correctly? Do you have the "script started" message? Also to check if it's not rpi zero hardware problem can you try the GPIO when the raspberry pi zero is sitting by itself. You just have to take a wire, connect it to ground on one side (hold it with your fing...

About this issue I am not sure what can be the problem. It could be the button itself or the associated pogo pin but it would not be my first guess. Are you sure everything is correct in your attempts? There could be quite a lot of software reasons for it not working. When you run the python install...

If the LCD is completely white (not blue and white) it's probably a problem with LCD ribbon connector. Or the ribbon being teared.

If it's white/blue then you can check there : https://www.8bcraft.com/trouble-shooting-faq/

It could be that there is a problem while writing the SD card. Maybe some linux partition are left from previous writing? You can check here to format completely all partitions of a SD card :

Please check that the L/R wires are not stuck under the circular shapes that hold down the PCB when casing is closed. This could make extra-pressure.
The casing should be able to close completely without problem.

Oui le pi zero W fonctionne sans problèmes particuliers

That is indeed a good idea, it would be awesome
Thanks for this first page!

Charge should not take more than ~10-12 hours even with large battery and regular 5V charger. With 4.5V charger it should be lower, about 5-6 hours. There might be a problem with your battery or the PCB. I think we should try replacing them.
