Green light issue.
April 4, 2024, 15:03
Currently setting up my pi zero w.
Right after flashing raspberry pi OS however only the green light is on. Seems to be blinking every 800ms or so. Any ideas?
Looking into issue.txt it has 1 log from 2024-03-12 which is weird considering I didn’t have it then. Could this point to some pre installed software having issues? Any help is highly appreciated :D
The log in question (can’t copy paste it sorry!)
It is not clear from your description how you tried to connect to the Pi. Did you try to connect via ssh?
Nah I didn’t try to connect to the pi itself. I just have it connected to my pc using a micro usb cable rn for some electricity. Haven’t even gotten to fully setting it up.
You can't set it up like that either. You have to insert the SD card into a reader and then install the OS on the SD card with the Raspberry Pi Imager.

Oh yea I’ve already done that
Before flashing the sd card none of the lights on it were on
Also seems to have stabilized. The green light is always on now
The computer will not supply enough amps for the Pi to run stably, don't you have a power supply?
I do I do I was honestly just to lazy to move all my stuff down to the laptop
Good idea tho I wasn’t thinking of that
💀
Have you sorted this yet?
If not: what pi do you have?
