Raspberry Pi 4B won't read SD card

Yesterday I was booting my Raspberry Pi 4B into RetroPi. When I got onto the controller screen, I plugged in a Google stadia controller via USB. After I did that the whole thing shut off. Everytime I tried booting after the green reading light would flash only once for a split second. I tried cleaning the port, Recovering the SPI EEPROM (thought it was corrupted) and using different power cords. I am out of ideas and I really need some help here.

Have you tried to create another boot device (SD card or USB stick)? And what power supply are you using as the Raspberry Pi 4 can be quite power hungry? And that video say nothing, you can delete it!

Tried another SD card and it didn't work The official raspberry pi 4 charger Video just shows the I plug it in and the green dot flashes for barely a second

dumb question but did you create a bootable image on these? if so, how

diamondepsilon

not exactly sure what that means as this is my first time using a raspberry pi. But if it means what I think it means, then yes?

I put retro pi on an SD card

diamondepsilon

and I was running it off of that

alphabeta.

did you use that imager app or some other way

alphabeta.

if you haven't used the imager give it a go. it (might) help. I'm new as well but I've run through a few images and most seemed to work through that tool

diamondepsilon

I did use the imager app

diamondepsilon

sadly no SD card I use works anymore no matter whats on it
