Raspberry Pi Zero W DOA

Post by Fjl886 »

I purchased a Raspberry Pi Zero WH (Zero W with Headers) and it will not boot up, I purchased a second unit and connected it with the same cables and it booted right up.

Thanks

Does the non-working pi look like it makes proper connection to the SD card?

Yes and upon further testing I am able to remote into the pi over VNC, it is just not displaying anything over the hdmi cable.

Did you use the same sd card in the other pi?

Yes and I tried it again just now and it works on the 2nd Pi Zero that I received.
