Raspberry Pi 2, when I power up I have red and green lights on MB but monitor display 'No Signal'?
Take a look at Raspberry Pi • View topic - Pitfalls for beginners & Power / Start up issues | Raspberry PI Community Projects for some help. Also try another HDMI cable. Some do not carry all the signals needed.
Have you solved the issue?
I am having the same issue with a new out of the box Pi 2 Model B. Attempting to run Kali Linux
Are you providing for at least 1 ampere current? Most USB from computers are limited to 500 milli amperes or only half what you need.
I am using the cana kit raspberry pi power cable thats certified for Pi 2 Model B
With recent firmware, according to this forum post the green light will blink in a specific pattern to indicate some types of errors:
If start.elf won’t launch it may be corrupt and can be replaced with arm240_start.elf or any of the other armXXX_start.elf files.
Do you see any of these?
9. VGA ADAPTER CABLES CANNOT WORK
If you have a VGA monitor, you cannot just use a HDMI-VGA passive cable, since the Pi's HDMI Port cannot generate analog signals, and a HTMI to VGA cable is just some connectors and copper wires, they cannot convert the digital HDMI signals to analog VGA signals.
You may either:
1. Get an active converter box from HDMI to VGA, if you have an older A or B preferably use a converter with its own power input, YMMV if you do not.
2. Use Gerts cheap VGA adapter for the B+ that works by directing video data to the GPIO pins, then using simple D/A converters consisting of carefully chosen resistors. http://www.raspberrypi.org/gert-vga-adapter/
3. Check on the back of your VGA monitor to see if there is, next to the blue VGA connector, a white DVI-D connector, if its really a DVI-D connector (not a DVI-A connector) then you can use a simple HDMI to DVI-D cable, as both standards are based on the same digital technology.
I was able to get it to boot by reformatting my SD card and loading g NOOBS instead of KAli Linux and it booted up fine. I was an issue with my image so I would suggest to the OP, try reloading your os image on the card.
Kali Linux may not have the Raspberry Pi 2 required files. Thanks for the update.
