Pi 3 B+ Not Turning On? [Wiring Help]

Post by abluecrate » Sat May 09, 2020 11:44 am

Hey all,

I'm working on my first build and got stuck after wiring it up. Below is a picture of my wiring. Originally, when I had flicked on the power switch, I got a green LED flashing on the pi. Then, after a few seconds it flashed and went out. Now, I no longer get the light at all.

Is there something up with my wiring? I checked and I am getting 5V to the Pi power pins, PP2 and PP5.

nothing is jumping out to me. i would try a different sd card and a different battery. sounds like the sd card or the image is bad. does the pi work if you plug a 5v power into it directly?

Hello,
Have you resolved you problem. I build a gamboy with a raspberry pi3a+ with a hdmi screen, the tinkerboy v3.0.1 and my battery (3.7v 3800mha). The RPI have got the green light and the screen is on too, but after a bit of seconds, all restart. When the device is connected to the power in order to recharge the battery, there is no problems. I use the adafruit powerboost 1000C. Thank you very much.

Don't know if you figured it out or not but I believe you're needing to power the Pi directly from the powerboost. it shows in detail on this page how/why on tinkerboy's site. https://www.tinkerboy.xyz/raspberry-pi- ... er-supply/
