Re: Dead Raspberry Pi Zero W
Could you post large, clear, detailed pictures of both sides of your board and the connections to it? Pictures should be less than 1meg in size. What did you have loaded and what were you doing when this happened? Have you tried reimaging the SD card?

Re: Dead Raspberry Pi Zero W
Hi.
This is not a software problem, the hardware is dead.
Running image was Tilt Pi https://tilthydrometer.com/products/til ... e-download
Location was inside house, and 15°C. It used wifi and BT connection.
I have several Raspberry Pi boxes and have tested this with the power supply for one of these. Still dead. The power supply is for Apple Iphone.
Br, Tor

Re: Dead Raspberry Pi Zero W
Have you tried it with the latest copy of Raspbian? The Pi Zero W needs a fairly recent version of the OS to function.

It is dead, there is no light, it's not trying to boot.

Without a valid recent OS on the SD card, there will be no indication of life on the Pi Zero W.

Re: Dead Raspberry Pi Zero W
I was actually not aware of that. Have now tested this and it works again, thank you very much.
