Hi all.
I bought a Pi 4 8GB (not 5) soon after it was released.
Installed it. it didn't boot, thought I must be doing something wrong. Tried a couple of times got busy with other things.
Today I've started again from scratch checked the HDMI cable is in left most socket.
Used genuine power supply and re-installed latest OS
In fact I've just reinstalled both my other Pis a 2Gb and a 4GB so the rest of the setup is legit working, even swapped SD cards with one that is working in the other pi.
Left light flickers green at start but then both are red after a bit. No screen activity.
I'm using the same screen cables power supply SD cards.
Sneaky suspicion that the Pi must be defective.
Considering I've not been able to use it at all feels like its been wasted spend.
Any thoughts or ideas pls? Thanks
