Raspberry Pi 3 Model B not posting

Sun Mar 01, 2020 8:49 pm

I’m pretty sure my Pi 3 is dead atp, but i figured I would ask here just in case. Like the title says, the Pi won’t post. The red and green lights on the board work, and so do (at least some of) the GPIO pins, but HDMI and USB don’t do anything. I tried restarting by copying NOOBS lite onto the SD card, and had intended on reinstalling Raspbian, but I had no such luck, the system still won’t post

Official Raspberry Pi Getting Started documentation here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/help/



There is a summary of all the knowledge accumulated from these forums during the past 8 years about difficulties getting an RPi to boot, see - STICKY: Is your Pi not booting? (The Boot Problems Sticky) - viewtopic.php?f=28&t=58151





Can you clarify what you mean by 'not posting'?

What are you expecting that is not happening?

I get no HDMI signal or USB power. Everything else seems to work fine (though i can’t test audio if the device isn’t booting)
