hello. the raspberry pi that came w/ the starter kit no longer starts up. the red power led lights, but neither of the other ones light when i put an sd card in or attach an ethernet cable.
it booted fine the first few days i had it, but one day it just stopped.
when i test the same peripherals (usb power cord, sd card, hdmi cable + monitor, usb keyboard) on a coworkers raspi, it boots + works as expected.
what other tests should i run to determine if the unit is defective?
thanks.

Re: Starter Kit: Raspi no longer boots
alas, no love.
i re-burnt my sd card + i also burnt an image to a different sd card.
neither boots my raspi; both boot my co-worker's raspi.
any other suggestions?

Re: Starter Kit: Raspi no longer boots
i've since borrowed a multimeter.
on my (sad) raspi, w/ no peripherals connected + no sd card, measuring voltage across tp1 + tp2 yields: 3.9
on my coworker's (happy) raspi, same usb power supply + setup, the measurement is: 5.18
i'm sure what my next step should be--any suggestions?

Re: Starter Kit: Raspi no longer boots
Have you tried swapping the power supplies? Or measuring the output voltage of your power supply?
*edit* nevermind... I didn't see that you used the same supply on your test.
