Still can’t figure out why my nostr:npub17tyke9lkgxd98ruyeul6wt3pj3s9uxzgp9hxu5tsenjmweue6sqq4y3mgl won’t power on. 🤔

Very slight bend in the gpio connector pins but they still connect, not sure if that would be enough of an issue.

I have the proper power supply, SD card was brand new and flashed with the proper img file using Balena Etcher, and I’m pretty sure my soldering is fine.

Is there any way to test if my board or screen are faulty? I don’t know what else it could be, unless it is just the pins.

It was just the pins when I had the same problem. They need to be soldered on.

I’ve soldered my pins on the bottom side of the RPi!

Do the lights come on when you power it on. Worth checking that none of the soldered joints are touching each other.

No, zero lights. Going to do what Seedsigner suggested and clean up my pins!
