Hi,
Very new to Raspberry and have an idea of what I want to do with it and have located all the relevant guides and resources, however despite my efforts in trying to do it myself, it hasn't worked and it's beyond my abilities.
Is there anyone that is local to Farnborough (I'm willing to travel) that could maybe assist in setting up my Pi for me?
Thanks
Matt

We had the January meeting this week with six old guys in the pub. There were four Raspberries (one B, three 2Bs), one wonky Intel Linux Mint laptop and an Epson printer that were running along with some very good very well kept beer. There's even free WiFi.
Next Soton, Winchester, Andover & Basingstoke Pi Interest Group (SWAB Pi IG) meeting is Wednesday 10th February in the Roebuck.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will certainly be making an appearance at one them soon!!!
Tried again to have a play today and it won't even boot up now
Both the power and act LED remain on despite whether the SD card is in or not!!
I installed Raspbian from NOOBS and am using a B+.

If you can snail mail an 8GB (or larger) SDCard to me I'll put NOOBS on it for you and mail it back. Or paypal the cost of a new card and I'll write NOOBS on it and mail it to you. I normally buy my SDCards from
http://ebuyer.com
PM for my address/paypal ID if you want to do that.
