RPi 3A+ : Only red light

[poulpette]

Hello, I know the community isn't responsible for any of the trouble that may have happened to me with my RPi but I'm frustrated as hell, I bought it 30 bucks and I'd appreciate not to have to send it back

I've followed every step: burnt a Raspbian ISO on an SD card, inserted it into the card
First, it worked and I could use my RPi a bit
But when I unplugged it and replugged it a few minutes later, only the red light was blinking
I tried reinstalling the iso and everything, nothing works

Thanks rpi, never gonna buy any of your products again

..., only the red light was blinking ...

There's your first problem. Power supply.

Other than that, have you read https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/view ... 28&t=58151 ?

For a huge number of people (millions) it does JUST WORK CORRECTLY. If it didn't we would be be selling quite so many. So your case is unusual, so we need to find out why it's unusual. First thing - read through the linked thread above.
