Why is my Raspberry Pi not booting?

MeenalG 7 days ago

I recently tried booting up my Raspberry Pi, but it's not starting, and I’m not sure what’s wrong. I’ve checked the power supply and SD card, but still no luck. Help me if you have any insights on this!

There is a troubleshooting guide based on LED activity in the documentation... EDIT: like here: www.raspberrypi.com/.../configuration.html

MeenalG If this is an older Pi that you have rediscovered, try flashing the SD card with a new Pi OS image.

A few years back, I had a Pi3 that I threw in the bin because it wouldn't boot. After the replacement arrived and it wouldn't boot on the seemingly fine SD card, I tried the new image thing. The new one then worked. I dug the old Pi out of the trash and it worked with the new OS image SD card.

It's worth a try.

Hi MeenaIG, With the given details it's almost impossible to troubleshoot the issue. Please provide some extra details like

1) Which raspberry pi is it? ( 3, 4, 5? )
2) How did you flash the SD Card? Did you make sure the card was flashed with the relevant version of the OS?

3) What is the LED indication ?

4) When you hook the monitor does that show anything on the screen?

5) There is a serial port available on the GPIO pins, Did you try hooking it into the hardware and see what it is printing ?

Regards,

Aswin
