What are your two LEDs (red & green) doing? <@1032446943500185703>

slabb_

The red one stays on and bright

slabb_

The green on flashes quickly once and slowly twice

andy_s

<@1032446943500185703> how exactly are you imaging your SD card?

slabb_

ive tried the rpi imager and balena etcher with an iso of ubuntu

andy_s

why ubuntu, try official image

andy_s

and try rufus

slabb_

ive tried raspbian

slabb_

let me try rufus

andy_s

well, then lite

slabb_

still no display?

slabb_

could it be an issue with the pi itself?

slabb_

holy shit

slabb_

i just plugged the damn thing into a different monitor

andy_s

and it works, right

slabb_

it doesnt stay on screen for long but atleast something appeared

andy_s

what

slabb_

the kind of set up screen shows up and then it says no cable found

andy_s

hmm...

andy_s

try booting from usb

slabb_

do i just plug the usb into the slot on the back of the pi and boot as normal?

andy_s

back?

andy_s

first you need to flash that stick the same way as SD card.

andy_s

then you plug it into USB slot of pi, pull out card and power up

slabb_

the green light isnt saying the sd card cannot be read

slabb_

but still no display

andy_s

yes, it is...

andy_s

3 flashes is that bootloader was not found

slabb_

is that an issue with the usb or the flashing software

andy_s

you got them flashes on SD card, not usb
