So…I have added the line via ssh…saved it, does it look right?, may have done it twice because when I Cyberduck into it I have 3 versions…I rebooted and got the same blank screen…how do I delete the first two versions please?
Thanks again…feel the light is at the end of the tunnel…

They generally will be ignored. But you can remove them with sudo rm rc.local.save and sudo rm rc.local.save.1
Looks tight based on the instructions. But maybe @grahamh made a mistake and it should be
echo 8bitnow > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr
Ok…so this latest script isn’t working either…also I can’t delete the other files …eek…see picture below:
There should be no need for the now in rc.local but no harm either. And no harm to the rc.local.save.* files.
Please re-boot and post logs from ssh with grab-logs -A.
Thanks.
Just enabled de bugging, rebooted and blank screen now…so got logs and here they are:

Run: cat /etc/rc.local | paste-log and post the URL
This is the problem:

You need to remove that empty line you added before
#!/bin/sh -e
well…I’m in there but don’t know how to remove the empty line…any pointers please?!

I’ve got into the bit to edit file just can’t delete the first line…here is my photo of where I am.I can see my cursor, just can’t delete the line…
to answer my post I managed to delete the file with a back space, saved it, rebooted and screen blank. Had to ssh into to see sudo nano /etc/rc.local and it had the first line back again…

On Windows,the delete key removes those blank lines.
Or backspace when you are on the line that starts #!
Right, I have 8 rc.local files, the last one save 6 has the correct structure…i.e no line at the beginning…if I could delete all the stuff before it I think this would work ad the others all have the space:
sudo rm /etc/rc.local
sudo mv /etc/rc.local.save.6 /etc/rc.local
Then please post output of
ls -l /etc/rc.local
I’ve done as requested and it says ‘no such file or directory’
I didn’t ask you to rm rc.local after the mv !!
Now you’ve lost it.
What have you got left now?
ls -l /etc/rc.local*
sorry…whole new world this…this is what I have left…
cat /etc/rc.local
done that…here’s the piccy:
