Modem showing 0 lights?

Post by VKNIGHT20 »

I'm receiving an issue after trying to fix my dreampi. After installing the newest version of dreampi onto my microsd card (After wiping it beforehand of course) I now get 0 lights on my modem once the pi is plugged into the wall. As well, once hooked up to HDMI into my television, it receives no response. I checked on the pi itself, and it shows a red light indicating that it is receiving power. Everything is successfully plugged in. Any clue as to what could be happening?

Sounds like the image didn't write to the SD card correctly. The Pi isn't detecting anything to boot from.

I tried that to be sure. Followed this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgRLnj2YR3s) guide, and tried to write the image on two separate micro SD cards. I put one in and it flashed both lights for around a millisecond before going blank. Even redownloaded the image to try it a second time. It shows it as two sd cards once put into my pc (Boot and SDHC). Which one should I put the image onto?

Does the green light on the Pi itself flash when you power it on? That would tell you if it's booting or not. If you just get a red power light with no green light then it's not booting.

As for writing to the SD card, you can just overwrite the drive labeled "boot".

Got it back online finally. Just had to download an sd card formatter, and was able to reapply the Dreampi image.
