Not booting at all on a Pi3 B+
-
Hi all,
Attempting my first build and using the following:
Pi Model or other hardware: Pi3 B+
Power Supply used: Official Raspberry Pi 5v 2.5A
RetroPie Version Used: 4.4
Built From: direct download from retropie site, md5sum: 56988addb60361a2257a61c69d9fceacThe image has been extracted from the zip file, written onto two different sd cards (both on the approved list, Sandisk 32GB's formatted in FAT32) - once with etcher and another with win32disk, just to try as many variables as possible - but when everything is plugged in, all I get on is the red power LED on constantly.
Any ideas about what could be the issue here?
-
According to the Docs your power supply is faulty or the PI doesn't get enough power.
-
No, the red light was on constantly so not a power supply issue.
Oddly enough, it's sorted now thanks to the powers of YouTube (see this video:
). Pulled the SD card contacts a bit and we're away! -
