trouble with booting

droidus

I am not able to boot my Raspberry pi.  i am using a dvi to hdmi cable.  i have a dell monitor.  i have power to the board, and it is supplied by 1.2 a.  i got it to boot once, but it is not working again.  any thoughts or ideas?

    I'm confused, are you talking about an indicator on the power supply or on the Raspberry Pi ?

     

    I was talking about lights on the Pi itself. If you get no lights on the Pi then very definitely you are not getting power to the board. Either your PSU is hosed, regardless of any lights showing on it, or the power connector on the Pi is damaged.

     

    If this isn't it, and the good advice given above doesn't help, try removing all USB peripherals from the Pi that you don't absolutely need.

     

    Start with just keyboard and mouse. You can put the peripherals back one by one after you get it booting again.
