PI4 Wont Start

Post by n0zo »

Hi, I bought a Raspberry Pi4 (4GB) a few days ago, and finally was able to try it out.

The only thing I'm getting is a solid red light. I've tried using a different power cord, both from my phone and then back to the official raspberry pi charger I have. I trouble shot the SD card and Power adapter with another Pi4 2GB I have and Pi4 4GB, and it works fine.

I've tried unplugging everything then plugging the power in, with and without a SD card, and all I get at all is a solid red light. The green light doesn't flicker, flash, or anything.

What else can I try?

Can you link to the product page for what specific power supply is being used here?

Those should both be fine. Let's just replace the Pi.

Send another email to [email protected] and link them again to this thread. They can send you a replacement Pi 4.
