Please help me. All of the steps worked just as the video showed, but my RPi 3b's elecrow 3.5" won't turn on. After I installed the driver, when the pi turned on, it gives me an error message. Something about a kernel error or an upload. it's weird. please help me. you're my only hope! (literally, I've tore apart the whole internet looking for help and this is the closest thing to what I need.
