Raspberry Pi won't boot

Post by xevver »

Hi. I purchased a Raspberry Pi Starter Pack (https://www.adafruit.com/products/1014) for a class my daughter is taking. Her teacher told me that there is a problem with the SD card reader not recognizing that the card is loaded, and therefore not staring. He says he tried her card in another Raspberry Pi, and it worked fine, and tried another card that he knows works and it didn't work. They were able to get it to work the first week by taking the pi out of the case and inserting the card, but now not even that will make it boot. Help.

I don't see any obvious problems with the card holder, but the test the teacher did was exactly right. The existing card works in another RasPi, and a card that works in another RasPi doesn't work in this one.

Send a note to [email protected] with a link to this thread and the folks there will get you a new RasPi.
