Raspberry Pi 4B Not Booting
Hi, my raspberry PI has an infinite green light flash when plugged in, and there is no hdmi output or SSH, which leads my to believe it is a betting error. It does not boot without the SD card, and it remains unbootable after SD card reflash. I've tried other HDMI's and they don't work as well.

Re: Raspberry Pi 4B Not Booting
did you use the RASPBERRY PI imager? And did you click and fill out the options gear?

Re: Raspberry Pi 4B Not Booting
Yes I used the imager. Not seeing any options gear I can fill out on the application if that's what you are talking about.
Edit: Found the options and tried setting up SSH and info but its still not booting up, and the green light remains infinitely flashing

What happens if you try this sanity check?

I tried that right now. The only difference is how at the end of that tutorial, it says there will be an infinite green blinking light, and that light was already present on the PI. there was no short/long flash, just an infinite short blinking light. After trying that recovery, the light remains the same, and the PI still will not boot

That's after the recovery process.
What behavior do you get with the sanity check?

What blink pattern do you see?Remove power.
Remove everything connected to Pi.
Remove SD card.
Apply power.

Re: Raspberry Pi 4B Not Booting
None of those patterns. After sanity check, it never leaves its infinite short blink state. I took a video of me doing the sanity check to see if there was any pattern i missed, but no, it stays in that state regardless of Sd card in, hdmi in, etc.
Edit: It always looked like this, even before the sanity check: https://learn.adafruit.com/assets/108999

Re: Raspberry Pi 4B Not Booting
Not sure what state it's in then. We can refund for the Pi but can not replace due to current limited inventory.
Send an email to [email protected] with a link to this thread and your order number and they can refund you for the Pi.
