"self powered" means the WD 3TB USB drive has its own power supply?
if you power on the USB HDD drive first before turning ON the RPi4B it should work just fine, and not draw any power from the RPi4B.

Come to think of it, I did encountered an almost similar problem on my very first installation on the RPi4B-4G the clicking the menu icon started the app itself without any problems but the desktop icon created later always ask to be run the script as executable tried tweaking the desktop icon entry...

I've removed 20x20x6 heatsinks attached to the SoC using thermal glue.... several times on the RPi3B+ and RPi3B twist and turn using a radio pliers....... seemed easier to do on the RPi3B+ than on the RPi3B, due to the metallic heat spreader on the RPi3B+ then a few scrapes and alcohol wiping to cle...

have you tried rebooting and clicking it again?

My recently completed NAS project.... for your reference:

Where are your speakers connected? where to you expect the sound to come out?

have you checked the sound setting by right clicking on the speaker icon on the top right of your screen?

LTolledo

why not use arduino ide for raspbian (desktop).... its a lot simpler that way....

LTolledo

...... just waiting for the OP to re-appear and check out his post on the result of his "wild experiment" with the RPi GPIO

am sure most of us will be "entertained"

LTolledo

pretty elementary....

the underlying OS's sound (HDMI, analog) is operational, and you yourself has proven that.
your DIY built app does not output sound at analog

check your app's code (and dependencies) again and rebuild it if necessary.

for #1 try it! and say good bye to your RPi permanently!

and be prepared to be scolded/reprimanded by jamesh, mahjongg, or other RPF staff.

finally I am able to test connection of my HDD cluster to my newly acquired RPi4B-2G and it was able to see and automatically mount all 14 HDDs of that cluster.... :D $ lsblk NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 3.7T 0 disk └─sda1 8:1 0 3.7T 0 part /media/pi/BUFLO4TB-6A sdb 8:16 0 3.7T ...

One might suspect that you have the ribbon cable plugged reversed on the RPi. your ribbon cable is facing inwards usually its supposed to be facing outwards better shut it down immediately remove the ribbon cable on the RPi and before plugging it again, using a tester check the outermost brown cable...

Then I suggest you try to re-start again by: flashing fresh copy of Raspbian Buster update and upgrade check SSH if OK if not, start again if OK back-up current installation install samba, configure it and test it if testing not OK restore from previous backup if OK, back up again (different image n...

better get support for this "parsec' app from their forum first....

with the RPi powered off
can you post an image of your connection using the T-cobbler and the ribbon cable?

maybe with the image someone can tell what's wrong with your setup

I think I like gkreidl's style for the for the "dark theme" as sometimes I feel that using the default theme (and the other), the monitor is too bright on a darkened room. if the CSS style is made available I might give it a try as well. ;) (hope it comes with instructions how to implement as I've z...

LTolledo

Despite all arguments .....

good luck with you endeavour.....
you'll need lots of those.....
as well as patience.....

Based on my experience, if the network shares are not online, the RPi still boots, but slower, due to the time the system seeks the existence of the network shares. this happened when I bought my RPi4B on holiday (to serve as my "mobile PC") I did not commented out the network shares declared in /et...

LTolledo

time for Dougie's echos again

please do the honors.......

LTolledo

I use wait for network at boot if i want my network shares to mount properly.

if am not going to use network shares then I leave it unselected

LTolledo

am gonna ( ( ( (((echo))) ) ) ) DougieLawson's statement on this matter

LTolledo

ok, from what i understand these are what your setup will be having. 1. Raspberry Pi 4B - ?G 2. laptop HDD, meaning either 2.5" HDD or SSD 3. Playstation Case assuming you also have a. microSD card (32GB?) b. usb keyboard and mouse c. hdmi monitor and you want a single power supply for the above set...

LTolledo

power cord is for AC mains?
how many HDD do you intend to use?
what HDD form factor? 3.5"? 2.5"?, 1.8"?

LTolledo

if you wont believe those warning you about possible mistake..... then go ahead and do what you believe is right but you alone bear the responsibility and consequences if your setup wont work or blows up! one of my RPi setup's main power source comes from a 12v power brick. then reduce the 12v to 5....

LTolledo

any reason why you need to stick to fat32 file system?

have you tried other file systems?
