[SOLVED] - CSO - First boot and no boot

Hi

I’m attempting the first boot up on the circuit sword. I’ve been following the wiki guide. After step 11 nothing happens. After waiting 10 minuets nothing on the lcd screen. So I turned the power switch off and rechecked my connections. Everything looks like it should. This is my first build so maybe I missed something.

Have you tried plugging in a HDMI screen? Does it show anything? Does it show "no signal" or does it show "just black screen" ?
Have you imaged the SD correctly? Does the STS LED at the top of the board flash or is it just permanently on? Do you have another SD to try?

To me, it looks like it hasn't booted at all as the FAN LED is on, and the PI PGOOD LED is not on either. So checking everything SD related is required.

Well I feel super dumb. I tried a spare SD card and apparently the new SanDisk card I bought is junk. Because it booted up just fine.

Thanks Kite

Think I have a similar problem.

I don't have mini HDMI
I've tried 2 different SD cards: a 32gb samsung and a 64 sandisk if that matters.
Only the wifi LED lights up at the top.
