Retropie does not turn on after disconnecting the power

[markyh444]

@haller sounds like the SD card is corrupt. If you've got access to a Linux machine you might be able to plug the SD into that to get the files off.

I have only notebook with windows. I tried with Diskinternal Linux reader. there is two partition on it: boot and Linux native, but when I trie to access Linux native error appears: "Can't open disk: Volume 1 Check the disk and try again"

@haller Get an Ubuntu linux live cd/usb so you don't have to install linux and use it to read the sd card.

I'm downloading ubuntu now.

Also I saw, that one of integrated circuit (L2) is broken. Can it be exchanged?

After boot into ubunto, I can see only boot partition :/

@haller After you started the Ubuntu live cd, open a command line and execute the command

cat /proc/partitions

then paste the output here.

@haller You can try Linux Reader for Windows to extract files directly from SD.

or as already mentioned here is a live system (Ubuntu, Kubuntu... or my favourite Puppy Linux).

btw: mmcblk0p2 is the partition you need

[Sano]

@haller said in Retropie does not turn on after disconnecting the power:

mmcblk0p2

This should be the data partition of your SD card.

[haller]

This command helped:

fsck -fy /dev/mmcblk0p2

reboot

After that, my partition shows up. Even in linux reader.

Thx.

@haller Thanks for sharing your solution for others.
