Raspberry Pi Forums

Hi!

I just bought my second Raspberry Pie. The first has been running RaspbMC. Both are B models. But when I try to boot up the new one with the power supply, SD card and wireless usb keyboard dongle, it usually just shows the coloured square on the screen and then seems to completely freeze. I tried many times, also with another sd card, different power supply, with and without ethernet, with and without wireless usb dongle, but always the same problem. And the old Pie is running fine with the same accessories.

Once the new one got past the coloured square, but then froze up, but I haven't been able to reproduce even that since. The screen cap pic was too big for attachment, here's a link:

Is there something I should try before sending back the Pie for replacement?

Either a fresh install or update start_x.elf and fixup_x.dat on the fat partition

Yes, I tried a fresh install of a raspbmc image downloaded two weeks ago, but same result.

Just to follow up on this problem. I sent the board back as faulty and I guess (they didn't contact me) since they returned my money, they figured it was in fact defective unit. So it does happen sometimes.

I ordered another one before I sent this one back and the new one worked straight out of the box without glitches.
