Maybe the two floating pins need connecting?

(brilliant page!!!)

Troubleshooting Tip: You may get an error like the one shown below: a
red square in a blank window. If this is the case, carefully remove
the Lepton module from the breakout board. That's right, pull it from
the socket, while it's powered. Then (again, very carefully) pop it
back into place. Images should start pouring in!

Huh!!! It worked!!
