PI 4 Fail to Boot after ~30 days

Post by aknorth »

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 8 Gb for a month. I had it set up running a chia harvester, nothing crazy just two drives. It ran fine for approximately 3 weeks and than all of a sudden I noticed it disconnected checked out the raspberry pi and it had gotten quite warm and nothing would come on the display. Not sure why a problem would present so long after it was running fine. I am using the official power supply. I tried reinstall the OS just to make sure nothing got corrupted and nothing would boot still. I am assuming it is toast but not entirely sure how to tell. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Have a look see here, https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/view ... 28&t=58151
There are troubleshooting tips etc in there. It's a long read though.

Is there an LED pattern when you power it up? You might be outside our warranty, but I want to track Pi4 failures and get the boards QRcode from you to report to the Pi Foundation.
