No lights, but detect.py correctly identifies the module #149

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 4GB of memory and I have the Unicorn HAT HD. I use the Patchbox OS.

I've managed to install the Unicorn HAT library using the curl command specificed in the readme. However, when I try to run one of the examples, nothing happens.

When i run detect.py, it tells me that I have a HAT, and if I detach it and run it again, it tells me that I have a pHAT.

I did browse through some of the issues here and noticed that dtparam=audio=on in /boot/config.txt was active, so I commented it out, but after a reboot, there's still no lights showing up.

Could the module be broken? How can I find out? Are there any other steps that I should try?
