Hello,
I am a beginer to Raspberry... and I have failed to have a new RP 4B working.... I would be glad if someone can help diagnose where it can come from ?
The story:
I just bought a RP 4B 4GB for my kid's birthday: it is RasTech kit (incl. scandisk card and 5V/3GB alim) I bought from Amazon.
I followed the RasTech guide's steps and I used RaspBerry Pi imager to build the 64 bit RP OS image. (I just did not plug a keyboard if that matters)
As a result, the screen (4K UHD) connected through HDMI has turned on but has always stayed black with no raspberries. Then, maybe I did not wait long enough for this first boot and I turned the RP off after 1 minute. I tried another screen (5K), tried without ethernet, tried the other RP hdmi port (I read later it make no sense when you only have one screen) etc.
Then I decided to rebuild an image (32 bit this time) and wait way longer to make sure the RP has enough time to boot. Red light was on. Green light would flicker (like "I'm processing"). After maybe 4 minutes, the desktop image would appear on my screen... less than a second and disappear. Then again a couple of minutes later. The image has appeared maybe 4 times in total... but after 10 minutes the screen is just black, the red light is on, the Green light has stopped.
I have read the post 28 with everything that can break a Raspberry. Luckily I am safe on this side.
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Michel
