Raspberry PI 3 Dead

k5at over 9 years ago

I got my PI 3 today, and it's DOA. It comes up to the rainbow screen and hangs. I measured the 5V and 3.3 volt pins and they are OK.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Other than voltage being out of proper range, what is the current(A) usage? May I ask where you found yours like which online site or local?

I got mine from MCM Electronics (online).
I haven't got it running yet, but I tried several SD Cards, (I have several PI's) one seems to work, but won't boot to the desktop. I'm in the process of doing a brand new load.

Everything OK now. I got a new load and it works fine. It was weird though, that a SD card out of one Pi2 B+ would not work, anlthough it was working fine in its original home.
The wi-fi works great, now to load a VNC server, and all the other stuff I use.

Thanks,

Hi Herb,

This is to be expected. Only the latest image is supported on the Pi 3 (and is backward compatible). Earlier builds are not.
