One RS4D has stopped working and it is dead. I unplugged and try restart but not reboot
What can I do ? If the Raspberry board is fried can I simply changed it fro a new one?
Hello SismosDOM,
Thank you for writing us about your issue. Let’s see what we can do. Could you please check the LED behavior (as described here: Technical Specifications — Instructions on Setting Up Your Raspberry Shake) and see where it stops following the listed steps?
This will give us some details on what is going on with the 4D. Another test you can try is to re-burn your microSD card (or burn a new one, if you have it) as this problem could be related to some microSD corruption or failure. I will leave the burning instructions here for your convenience:
- Please take the microSD card you have and format it before burning the new Shake OS image
- Make sure, when you format it, that the shown capacity is the maximum (i.e. if the SD card is 32GB like yours, then the capacity should be near or equal to that value). This is to check that no partitions have been involuntarily and erroneously created. They could be the cause of the error we see now
- Take care to format the SD card in a FAT32 File System (or exFAT if the SD card is 64GB or larger)
- Download the new Shake OS image from here: https://gitlab.com/raspberryShake-public/raspshake-sd-img/-/raw/main/raspishake-release.zip
- And follow the microSD burning instructions from here: raspishake-microSD-card-software-Instructions.txt · main · raspberryShake-public / Raspshake Sd Img · GitLab
If even this fails, then you can try to swap the Rasberry Pi board (the one below the blue Shake board) with a new one (remember that, when doing this, the Shake code/name will change) and see if, paired together with a newly burned microSD, this solved the problem.
