What am I doing wrong?

lhfrew

Purchased a new Raspberry pi 3 +B, with SD card.  All I get is the splash screen on the monitor.  What can I do? Previous PI 3 works fine.

  • Ok so what I would is make sure you power is  5v 3amp  and then try a new image from https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/   try that and see if it will work if that dosen't work and you are still unable to boot past that part you could also try  https://berryterminal.com/doku.php/berryboot    since its a pure drop and drag not need to use etcher or any other img software. 

     

    Also make sure no other hardware is plugged in besides hdmi and power for testing. 

     

    If still nothing try another power supply and make sure plugging directly into the wall and not into a power bar. 

     

    Also if you can take a close up of the sd card slot make sure no pins are damaged.

     

    hopefully something above helps you out a bit or give you something new to try.
