Problems booting raspberry pi

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi,

We just received our first Raspberry Pi.  Its the latest model.  We have formatted the 8GB micro sd card including wiping any data with the Mac Disc Utility.  We have downloaded the NOOBS files, latest version, and copied them onto the sd card.  I can see them in file manager and eject the sd card correctly.  The files are copied, not the NOOBS folder.  The only folders copied are the OS and Defaults files.  However, the Raspberry pi does not boot.  Both the red power LED and the Green LED light constantly.  The Green LED does not flash at all.  I've tried without a keyboard or mouse or even a screen connected and same issue.  Any ideas of what else to try?

    I can suggest an alternative process. Try http://www.berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot. This requires a connection to the internet with an Ethernet cable.

    Good suggestion, Clem.

    My doubt is if it is the PI or not the problem. So, if last at all the procedure is correct, the zip file has been unzipped correctly (on Mac some problem exist sometimes) and the system continue not to boot, last chance is the SD card replacement, then if also the net setup won't work it is unfortunately the hardware...

    Hi everyone.  I bought a new micro sd card and all works now.  The previous sd card was a pico brand bought at the local news agency. I've replaced it with a sandisk card and all is well.  Thanks everyone with your suggestions.
