Booting Problem

Thu May 15, 2014 10:25 am

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?

...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.
