Raspberrypi5 turns on but does not give any HDMI output

Hello, I was trying to setup the ardu cam with my raspberrypi 5 and made some changes to the config.txt everything worked fine but later the i get no output to my screen, I changed the config.txt back to what it was but it still doesn’t work.

Most likely an incompatible setup of the screen resolution, that your monitor doesn't support.

yeah i just ended up reinstalling the os and it worked

Great!

You have most likely setup the screen resolution on the GUI. Whatever you do, setup the RPi with SSH enabled, so if you fuck up, you can always enter over SSH and repair it.

yeah that sounds good, I will set that up tomorrow

if you enter your pi with ssh -X option, you can also start GUI tools and they will open on your computer. So, if you have messed up some display option in the GUI and don't know where that is stored, you just call the GUI from your other computer and correct that. ssh -X rpi and then every GUI program should work, at least if you have an X running on your computer. So if you are using a Linux or CygWin from Windos. Also you can try to open your RPi with vnc if you have been so wise to have set that up. But I always prefer ssh, because this is so fast and quick, that you don't even "feel" that it is remote, even if you log in to your RPi at home, while you are driving in a train somewhere between Hamburg and some unknown hicksville, in Brandenburg and you are fighting off the wolves from entering your wagon and just want to check, if that order of nuclear ammunition was already affirmed in your Pi at home, you can quickly jump in over the GSM modem in your phone, search for a cellphone connection, but only get a C-Net 9600 baud, because that's normal in Germany, the country with the best infrastructure of the world, if you count from the bottom up, only surpassed by Ghana, then you log into your RPi over those 9600 and it's fine. All is fine. SSH is quick, after you waited for about five minutes to exchange the public key codes.

Wait. I think, we are using C-Net now for PMR, too like all civilized countries that are using those frequencies for kids to play with. I think our tech is next step up. This is, why if you plug in your RPi in Germany, the light will flicker, because all the green power crap is slightly stressed out by the power of the Pi. And in France they will start up some nuclear power plant because a cloud shades down our superior solar panel packed country. But no, we don't have nuclear power anymore. Good for us. If those rotten French plants blow up, we just get all the fallout, because they built those directly at the border. But we have no control over those like we did over our own. And they don't care too much if they blow up or not, because they don't will suffer from the fallout. So. Just smart decisions here, just smart decisions.

Better build your RPi with his own solar power station, you can't rely on "the state" to provide that anymore. They have much more important things to do, like creating a nightmare of laws about pronouns.
