Raspberry Pi 4 not responding. Only shows RED light. No green light

bugtech
bugtech 10 months ago

Hi. 

I was working on my newly bought Raspberry pi 4. Suddenly after shutting it down to remove the camera cable, It is not responsive anymore. I have read various posts regarding this issue but no help. 

I have tried 3 different SD cards but still its not responding. What can be the issue? or how can i fix this? 

Thank you

    What are you using for a power supply?

    How did you perform a shutdown? Pull the wall wart, pull the power connector on the Pi, issued a shutdown command.

    How did you remove power. Pull the wall wart or pull the power connector on the Pi?

    Confirm when you modified the hardware configuration of the PI (i.e. removed camera) it was done with the power off?

    I did like always. sudo shutdown. After 1 minute it was off. Then i removed the power cable (type C) after that removed the camera cable. Then plugged in again the power cord and it never booted. Since then i only see a RED light.

    not even a blink of green led? Different patterns of blinking (long and short) means different boot errors...

    bugtech Long shot suggestion:  Try flashing a new RPi image onto one of your SD cards.  I can't remember having to do this on a Pi4, but I did have to do it a couple of times on a Pi3.

    Your reply would move me away from looking at power to examining the SD card and image.

    Are you able to boot one of the SD cards on another Pi?

    I remember facing this issue long time ago. Try to reflash the SD card with a new RPI image file.

    There is no sign of Green light. I think the board is fried.
