RaspberryPi Won't start at all(first time)

Thu Nov 28, 2013 6:23 pm

Hello everybody,

I just got my raspberryPi today. Excited to try it, plugged it into the case and try to boot it up, but without succes.
What happens when entering the power a red and a green light light up. After that the green light will go off and start flashing almost invisble.

Nothing happens after that. I have already put new NOOBS software on it, but no succes.
Its a raspberryPi model B.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

try flashing anything other than NOOBS. if that fails, try another SD card. after that, contact the supplier.
We're not here because we are free. We're here because we are not free. There is no escaping reason. No denying purpose. Because we both know without purpose, we would not exist.

I have tried another sd card and it worked. Shame the 8gb card is not compatible with raspberrypi.
Thanks

What is the make / model of the SD card you used?

There is no reason for any SD card not to work...
