3rd Raspberry Pi 2 which fails to boot - Raspberry Pi Forums


hi everyone,

have been using multiple raspberry pi b models couple years now, never had problems not resolve searching forums. i've been running many different software openelec, raspbian, raspbmc etc. while i've been running kodi , pi musicbox @ same time, using guide: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic ... 5cl25gq3-e
running these things @ same time not fast, works fine.

i've bought raspberry pi 2, trouble starts. first rpi2 received booted once, 1 second. after that, never again. plugged in power supply, complete pcb became burning hot, seems me there short circuit, rma'd , ordered new one. since farnell had rpi2's noobs included on stock, ordered one.

new rpi2 arrived, formatted included noobs sd, installed kodi , pi musicbox again using guide shown above, fine, instant boot, configured , happy. 1 day able listen spotify , watch movies using kodi (much faster response previous rpi).

due low power consumption don't switch off rpi, leave on @ time. next day needed install different router unplugged power supplies of concerning devices. after installing new router, plugged in rpi; no boot. leds turned on solid; no blinking, no hdmi output/rainbow screen. formatted sd again, same installation method before, still no boot. tried install else noobs, no boot. tried different sd cards, nothing. plug sd cards old rpi b, instant boot.

- followed sticky guide no booting on forum.
- tried multiple other sd cards, no difference. sd cards work on old rpi b.
- tried installing noobs; used sdformatter format full (overwrite) , size adjustment turned on.
- tried power supply (2000ma), 1 i'm using might bit tight (1000ma), no difference. (i have keyboard , mouse dongle connected usb, streaming media nas)
- came across topic (don't have link anymore) users same problems, far saw theirs had never booted, mine did.

pretty desparate ordered new rpi2 farnell, same again noobs sd. yesterday arrived same story; following guide link above, etc. worked fine again, kodi , musicbox; listened music, watched movie, no problems @ all. morning woke (yesterday left rpi2 switched on), turned on tv; no hdmi input. looked @ rpi2, green led turned off, red solid on. unplugged power supply, plugged in; exact same story, both leds turn on solid, no boot , hdmi output.

hope has got clue might doing wrong because i'm getting hopeless now. said before, never had significant problems old rpi b, not running setup. i'm running out of clues.

in advance,
max

anyone? :(
