          @AJR-homie make sure your TV is on first before powering up your pi

              Yeah. I have tried powering on the Pi first and it looks weird.

                What lights are on?
                Certain cases block the HDMI port partially. Remove the case.

                  If you have just one solid red light, that means everything is fine the Pi just won't boot.
