Pi Zero not booting

Mon Feb 06, 2017 1:54 pm

I started a project to build a Gameboy with a Raspberry Pi Zero and the Software Recalbox everything seemed to work until I connected some Cables to the GPIO. Now the Power Led's isn't working anymore and the Pi ist getting really hot. Anybody got an idear how to solve the Problem ?

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Sounds like you have blown the pi zero. Only thing you can do is replace it.
Double check the wiring with the replacement, otherwise you may blow that one as well.
Good luck.

Could it be that the Pi wont boot up becaue there is tin in the wrong GPIO pins ?
I really hope the PI is not demaged because It's a part of my school projekt. :|

If you have soldered directly on to the pi then I would desolder the wiring to the gpio port and check for shorts.
