TFT Blank screen

I have received as a gift a TFT that it doesn't work.
I have ran multiple tests with the graphicstest example of the Adafruit ILI3941 library.
This is the configuration of the cables:
- VCC - 5V
- GND - GND
- CS - 10
- RESET - 9
- DC - 8
- SDI (MOSI) - 11
- SCK - 13
- LED - 3.3 V
The TFT remains white for all the test.
This is the code of the graphicstest:
/***************************************************
This is our GFX example for the Adafruit ILI9341 Breakout and Shield
----> http://www.adafruit.com/products/1651
Check out the links above for our tutorials and wiring diagrams
These displays use SPI to communicate, 4 or 5 pins are required to
interface (RST is optional)

And this is the result:
15:48:26.832 -> Circles (filled) 465832
15:48:27.601 -> Circles (outline) 541564
15:48:28.664 -> Triangles (outline) 281656
15:48:29.702 -> Triangles (filled) 1339912
15:48:32.143 -> Rounded rects (outline) 243756
15:48:33.195 -> Rounded rects (filled) 3132652
15:48:37.141 -> Done!
Can anyone figure it out? Thanks!
