Hello!

I got a problem. When i start my raspberry pi with a new flashed Sdcard with either noobs, rasbmc etc it boots fine.
But to the problem when i turn it off with either shutdown in terminal or just pull the plug (know this isnt good) it wont boot again.

Its just the power led thats light up. I can reboot it works fine. But if i turn it off and dont use it for a while and gonna use it again. No hdmi picture no ssh access nothing.

Ive tried to sudo update upgrade then leave it on for 8 hours. For everything to be written to sd card and stuff. But the same thing happends.

Anyone got any solution?

when you do a shutdown command do you immediately remove power or do you wait (about 20 seconds after all the lights go off) to let it sort itself out?

hmm a good question. dont really know how long i waited. i will try that thanks!

Ok i tried this. Waited 2 minuted. It was off for 3 hours tried again didnt boot.
Should be the SD card then right?

...or marginal power supply voltage due to using a poor power supply, or marginal instability if RaspBMC has applied an overclock that your Pi doesn't like. The former can often exacerbate the latter.

Ok cool gonna get a new sd card and a powered usb hub today that should fix everything i hope
