Received a new Raspberry Pi 4 2GB yesterday, it didn't want to boot with several SD cards and two official Raspberry Pi 3A power supplies.
It booted a few times today, but would lock up, and now all I get is 8 flashes of the green LED. Three different SD cards - fresh images from the Raspberry Pi imager, all working in other Raspberry Pi 4s. Looks to me like I have a bad Pi.

Re: RasPi 4 - Bad SDRAM
It is my understanding I'm supposed to use this forum to get an RMA...?

Re: RasPi 4 - Bad SDRAM
Thank you for testing so many configurations of SD cards and on other Pi's you have.
This does indeed sound like a bad SDRAM situation if the ACT LED blinks 8x. I take it you were installed the latest release of Pi OS is that correct?
Please send an e-mail to [email protected] requesting a replacement Pi4. Include your order# and a link to this forum thread.
