Troubleshooting • Re: Pi5 not booting anymore

Have you read https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=58151 yet?

Yes.

Failure seems to leave a small set of possibilities -

Faulty or failing TV/monitor/display and/or connecting cables;

Faulty or failing Power Supply and/or connecting cables;

Faulty or failing RPi[5] board.

The monitor is fine. It is one I use daily for work. I tried two different mini-HDMI to HDMI cables that are both known to work.

I tried two PSUs. Both are 27w ones from pishop. The first was one that I bought with the board in September. The second is one I bought from pishop a couple of weeks ago to rule out a faulty first one.

I had a spare unused sdcard, same as the one that worked fine for ~4 months. I imaged it fresh with the Pi Imager utility this morning. I didn't expect it to work since you should see the diags without the sdcard. Of course it made no difference.

(and before someone comes in and asks if I hit the power button, yes, I have done that as well)

That leaves me with, I guess, the faulty pi5 board.
