Hi All. I have been trying for a week to get my Raspberry Pi 5 to boot. I have tried two SD-Cards and a USB thumb drive to no avail.
If I use the custom config option in Raspberry Pi Imager, I get a screen that says its generating SSH keys and then it says rebooting, but it never comes back. If I pull the power and plug it in, I get the standard linux boot text scrolling for a few pages and then the screen goes blank, it never seems to connect to wifi using the custom config, and the keyboard has no power. The led stays red forever more.
I have tried all of the options in config.txt for hdmi, plus the video= option in cmdline.txt and nothing changes.
I have tried Raspberry Pi OS 64bit, Ubuntu, and Kali and all do the same thing.
The last item I have seen come up a few times before it goes to black is "BCM: Using default device address". Although it does seem to go black at different points, so I'm not sure if thats useful.
I am honestly at my wits end trying to get this working. Any assistance would be really grateful
