pi not starting up

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

I bought a second pi last month.

It said the 8gb sd came with noobs.

I plugged it all in where the other pi was and it never booted, only the power light came on.

i feel like i don't know what the hell I'm doing now.

can someone help me?

    i plugged the sd into the running pi and nothing happened

    this makes me think it doesn't have noobs on the sd like i thought

    What is the  Raspberry Pi that you just got? Is it a Raspberry Pi 2?

    A mistake was made: New raspberry pi's were shipped with a version of NOOBS that didn't run on the newer raspberry pi. So it is entirely possible that the preinstalled NOOBS is not able to run on your hardware. Just reimage the card with the latest version and reboot. (Then ask for your money back for the card+NOOBS... -> free card!)
