What im doing wrong prob something stupid
timothemagi
Software is alr installef
timothemagi
timothemagi
Got the power ethernet and hdmi cabble in
k9t33n
we need a little more info
timothemagi
Doesn t give Light tho kinda weird
k9t33n
what software, power supply etc
timothemagi
Rpi 3 and Just downloaded the Software a while back was for rpi 4 dunno how much that should matter
k9t33n
it matters quite a bit, moving past that how is the power supply?
timothemagi
Just official one
k9t33n
check if it's the correct rating and if that's not working try another one which also has the correct rating
timothemagi
timothemagi
Logo is on there
timothemagi
so guess it is the software or ethernet cuz that doesn t give green light
timothemagi
luckily i made a gitrepo of the files i had but still annoying what do you think it is?
timothemagi
this also seems weird to me
k9t33n
what's the green light doing? and do you have a display?
timothemagi
dunno just looks to me like it is alr
timothemagi
noop
k9t33n
do you mind restarting so I can rule out everything?
timothemagi
just unplug replug cuz can t run command
k9t33n
no I mean reflash
timothemagi
how do i do that?
k9t33n

timothemagi
did that alr
timothemagi
let me check what i got on my laptop
k9t33n
ok just do it all again but select "erase" for the os which will reformat
k9t33n
then you can do it all again
timothemagi
but then i loose all the files?
k9t33n
Correct, I mean if it's not booting you shouldn't have any files on it anyway or be able to access them(?)
timothemagi
timothemagi
it seems like a mess
timothemagi
i do have files on it cuz had a rpi 4 before now rpi 3
k9t33n
ohhh ok
k9t33n
find those files in the sd card and save them to your computer
timothemagi
timothemagi
only see dtbo files no python files or folders sometime hate computers
k9t33n
it might be in a different folder
timothemagi
timothemagi
this is the only folder
timothemagi
guess i could clean the storage download os and try again but it should do something even without os?
k9t33n
without os no it won't
timothemagi
weird had everything on it bef maybe its memory is worse of that of a human
timothemagi
how can i clean a storage?
k9t33n
clean it? as in get rid of everything?
timothemagi
yeah
k9t33n
I would use the erase function in the imager to get it ready for the next image
timothemagi
timothemagi
it has the 64-bit chached on my pc
k9t33n
yes
k9t33n
choose that if you want
timothemagi
or should i go 32 bit cuz it is a 3 and not 4?
timothemagi
π
k9t33n
pi 3b or just 3?
timothemagi
dunno
k9t33n
go with 32 bit
timothemagi
rpi 3 mobel b
k9t33n
your fine with 64 bit then
timothemagi
timothemagi
k9t33n
I suggest my recommended settings here
timothemagi
timothemagi
dunno wtf that pw is tho XD
k9t33n
yup that makes sense
k9t33n
wdym PW?
timothemagi
pass word
k9t33n
oh, why not you set it?
timothemagi
4 months ago or smth
k9t33n
change it then now
timothemagi
does it really matter cuz looks extremely long
k9t33n
I mean yes because otherwise you won't be able to log into your pi if you don't know the password
timothemagi
ok but the K in it to remember you<:kekw:1096152716578934924>
k9t33n
π
timothemagi
f still no signal
k9t33n
what was the act led doing?
k9t33n
the act led is the green one
timothemagi
the one the rpi?
timothemagi
both red
k9t33n
was it ever having a green light?
timothemagi
yeah
timothemagi
in when i first plugged it in
timothemagi
1-1
timothemagi
software doesn t seem to help
k9t33n
hmm, I would get a display to test
k9t33n
just temporary like a tv
timothemagi
wdym
k9t33n
a display can help significantly to troubleshoot
timothemagi
timothemagi
Got 1 alr
timothemagi
But black screen
timothemagi
On the left one
k9t33n
unplug the SD card from the pi and plug it into the display just to make sure it's not broken
timothemagi
yeah mean my monitor is broken sur eit is not
k9t33n
oh then you need a none broken monitor ofc
timothemagi
don t even think i can put a ssd in my monitor
timothemagi
its not
k9t33n
you normally can't no
timothemagi
so what should i do
k9t33n
you have a micro hdmi to hdmi cable?
timothemagi
i do but don t have a port in my rpi 3 i think
k9t33n
oh forgot
k9t33n
you just need a hdmi cable
timothemagi
<:sadblob:1021204158587600916> stupid software
timothemagi
so what is wrong :/
k9t33n
thinking..
k9t33n
why have you downgraded btw?
timothemagi
overload error
k9t33n
timothemagi
was just from school to lent and my dad had a 3 laying around
k9t33n
I'm guessing then the pi is broken unfortunately
timothemagi
you sure π
k9t33n
yup
k9t33n
ask your dad how long it was laying around for
timothemagi
π₯²
timothemagi
dunno not there rn
k9t33n
if it's more than like 5 years it's deffo enough to have died
timothemagi
ssd seems fine downloaded the stuff
timothemagi
and even without internet it should boot up
timothemagi
and the hdmi cabble is fine cuz use that for my other pc
k9t33n
yes
timothemagi
so all 3 cables are fine and power supply also so guess it is just f π€·ββοΈ π \
k9t33n
yup
k9t33n
only thing I can think of
k9t33n
Apart from the display not working with the pi for some random reason, it's happened to another person before
timothemagi
he said it worked 2 months ago weird
k9t33n
hmm
k9t33n
ask him what he did to get it working
k9t33n
when you can
k9t33n
I've done all I can think off right now
timothemagi
yeah thx for trying will text with him for a bit
k9t33n
ok
timothemagi
it works tf
timothemagi
<@1071178789939331253>
k9t33n
wth?
k9t33n
whatd you do?
timothemagi
guess it was some sort of bug
timothemagi
cuz could still do 64bit remember
k9t33n
ohh
k9t33n
weird
timothemagi
but it didn t like that apperantly but still suggested it and acted like nothing happened so im right it is just stupid software
k9t33n
yup lol
k9t33n
happy to help.. ig???
timothemagi
timothemagi
now im actually at the right <:kekw:1096152716578934924>
timothemagi
don t blame my own code tho most of the time it happens when i use someone else software
k9t33n
lol
timothemagi
good to know for the next time won t waste 2 hours of my live for it then
timothemagi
there isn t a close command right i can just leave it like this
