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?

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

πŸ™‚

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

πŸ˜‚

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 πŸ’€

k9t33n

yup

k9t33n

ask your dad how long it was laying around for

timothemagi

πŸ₯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 πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ 😞 \

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
