Advanced users • Is my Raspberry Pi 4 Dead?

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to boot my Raspberry Pi 4 but it does not work.

The ACT LED does not blink. I read online and it was said that the if it's not blinking it's not booting up. It may be due to the SD Card Connector or something else.

I also read that an old EEPROM may cause booting issues. Therefore, as I had never update it I decided to follow the procedure to update it.

I flashed the SD Card using Imager, inserted the card and hooked it up to power. However, the LED still did not blink.

I could see it was a bit dirty, so I decided to use 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean it. Still it does not blink the LED.

Is there any test to confirm it is dead, or something I could to narrow down where the problem is?

Thanks a lot for reading Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
