New 1g Pi doa ??

Post by wellsa »

I used a working sd card from my pi+, and put it in my new Pi2. All I get is the colorful splash screen, and the red led is on. Prior to using the card in the new Pi, I did perform the sudo apt-get upgrade as suggested.
Have I missed a step, or did I receive a bad pi2 ?

The RasPi v2 has a new microprocessor. Only the most recent version of the OS works.

Try downloading a fresh copy of Raspbian or NOOBs from the RasPi Foundation and see if that works: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/
