TFT display not working with batteries / Arduino Nano Every

Hey!

So im using an Arduino Nano Every and a TFT LCD screen to display bitmap images, everything works fine when I power the Arduino with the USB cable, however when I power with 3.7 V 1000 mA lithium battery screen stays white. Im also using a voltage booster to bring the 3.7 V up to 5 V. Here are the connections:

*BTW battery is also connected to 5V pin

*TFT display I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/-/es/gp/product/B07WDJ3TV6/ref=ewc_pr_img_4?smid=AFLYC5O31PGVX&psc=1

Have you measured the 5V out of the voltage converter with a multimeter?

Is the battery fully charged?

Tried a new voltage converter?

Tried a different battery?

Yes. Sorry I didn’t include in description. I checked with a multimeter, batteries are fully charged and Arduino its getting the 5 V. I also tried with a different battery.

I am at a loss here, possibly the screen itself? Check voltages going to the screen possibly?

I also noticed you have pins 11 and 13 connected to the screen and the SD card slot?

Shouldnt they be on seperate lines?

Also what is the brand and model/type/revision of the TFT you are using?
