You should probably file a request because I know you aren't silly enough to give your real phone

@Matthew they're UPS/DHL scams

2019-09-03 22:39:03 UTC  

I get em too, got my Chinese fren to translate and it's literally "You have a package waiting but tarrifs and fees need to be paid! Please call (number) to arrange pickup"

Chunked

2019-09-03 23:52:23 UTC  

So you remember NOOBS installation being brain-dead? Well I somehow managed to fuck it up. I copied the extracted NOOBS files to SD, plugged in peripherals as specified, plugged in power and... nothing!

2019-09-03 23:52:54 UTC  

I still can't get it to work, the only thing that could be wrong at this point is either corrupted files or a DOA board.

@Matthew you predicted it

2019-09-03 23:54:37 UTC  

Like fucking clockwork.

2019-09-03 23:55:46 UTC  

@Iren Masot aren't you supposed to flash the OS to the SD card instead of just copy/pasting?

2019-09-03 23:56:43 UTC  

No, NOOBS is copy/paste into the SD card after unzipping the files.

2019-09-03 23:57:17 UTC  

Literally plug and play but I can't get my Pi to post anything. 😂 👌 💯

@Tribit change iren's name to "involuntary luddite"

2019-09-03 23:59:50 UTC  

Excellent assistance friend, your Reddit gold is in the mail

2019-09-04 00:00:10 UTC  

I literally followed given instructions to the letter, still nothing

Gotta be bad hardware somewhere at this point.

2019-09-04 00:02:50 UTC  

SCP-level incompetence

2019-09-04 00:03:22 UTC  

I hear tell a green light should flash to indicate the SD card is being red, and that is NOT happening, I think this board is DOA boys.

2019-09-04 00:03:36 UTC  

Maybe your power source is bad?

2019-09-04 00:04:01 UTC  

I've tried two now to identical results, and tried separate HDMI cables too

2019-09-04 00:04:25 UTC  

Just haven't tried an SD card yet, but the one I have works perfectly fine in Windows with no issues.

2019-09-04 00:05:11 UTC  

was the sd card formatted to the right type?

2019-09-04 00:05:39 UTC  

ntfs, fat32, exfat, etc

2019-09-04 00:05:49 UTC  

I used the SD Foundation formatter as specified with no further fuckery on my part.

2019-09-04 00:05:58 UTC  

exFAT, tho.

2019-09-04 00:06:11 UTC  

is the default from the specified formatter.

2019-09-04 00:08:11 UTC  

I'm guessing you used this guide?

2019-09-04 00:08:37 UTC  

Oh yeah, to the letter.

2019-09-04 00:08:48 UTC  

Read any step in that guide, I did it exactly.

2019-09-04 00:09:24 UTC  

Only think I haven't done by now is try HDMI 1, but with that little green LED doing jack-shit, I think this is a foregone conclusion.
