The screen came with a .img file on a CD. After loaning a CD reader from a friend who is a caveman, I set to work.
Issues encountered:
1. Firstly we need to check check where the SD card is mounted. Plug it in and open Terminal.
2. Type diskutil list into your Terminal window. This will give us the the disk identifyer. It will likely be disk2 or disk3.
Sample Output:
/dev/disk2
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: FDisk_partition_scheme *8.0 GB disk2
1: DOS_FAT_32 Pi 8.0 GB disk2s1
You can see here mine is in disk2.
3. Unmount the disk by typing diskutil unmount /dev/disk2s1 into the Terminal. Replace the red text with your disk number.
4. Type sudo dd if=/location_to_.img of=/dev/rdisk2 bs=1m into the Terminal window. Replace the red text with your disk number. Make sure your disk number is pre-pended with r, otherwise it will take hours.
5. The dd command won't show you it's status. Wait until you see a success message such as:
3781+1 records in
3781+1 records out
3965190144 bytes transferred in 98.323135 secs (40328150 bytes/sec)
6. Unmount your SD card. Done!
