Hi everyone,
Recently I bought a screen TFT LCD 6.2" (directly from China) and I wanted to connect it to my Mega board. This screen can be used with SPI and this is what I planed to use. The screen also have the RA8875 driver from RAIO. So I tried the Adafruit_RA8875 librairy to start the screen but nothing happens(the screen stays black instead of blinking white and drawing shapes).
I used the librairy example code builtest.ino. I change the original code a little bit because it was written to be used with Uno (the SPI pins for Mega aren't the same)
/******************************************************************
This is an example for the Adafruit RA8875 Driver board for TFT displays
---------------> http://www.adafruit.com/products/1590
The RA8875 is a TFT driver for up to 800x480 dotclock'd displays
It is tested to work with displays in the Adafruit shop. Other displays
may need timing adjustments and are not guanteed to work.

source code, please support Adafruit and open-source hardware

}
}
I think my SPI wiring is correct accordingly to the Attachments. I connected the GND to VSS, the 5V to VDD, the CS to 53, the clock to 52, the MISO/MOSI to 51/50. I already tried to invert MOSI and MISO but it doesn't work better.
After, I though it might be a problem of SPI speed so I tried to change SPI speed and SPI mode in the librairy but nothing happens... I'm a beginner in touching Arduino librairy so I don't touch it too much.
I don't know what to do next. If you have any remarks on the work I did or any problems I missed, please tell me 
I attach the Specs of the screen and all the pictures to control my wiring.
Thank you all
