Hello, I recieved my circuit sword and made it through the sanity check. All rails appear to be getting power. I performed the first boot and get a gray screen and nothing else. I downloaded the image from the github and tried a couple different sd cards already. I'll attach some pics.

All instructions have been followed regarding the faulty board. Was just wondering if you've had the chance to send out a replacement? Thanks

The new CSO board arrived today. I'm really stumped. I opened the box switched boards over put in the SD card and got nothing again. Pgood and usbhub led are still not on. Nothing on the screen. I tried 3 different sd cards already, Toshiba, Sandisk and a generic brand with no results all class 10 cards. I'm really not understanding why I can't get the board to boot

I'm going to run out and buy another sd card just to rule out the possibility of all my cards being bad. I've tried etcher and windisk32 to burn the image. All the videos I've watched and as others have shown me they just put the sd card in and the system boots up. I'm really at a loss

Is it possible the compute module is bad?

Hey, i'm 99% sure I have an email from you yesterday (i haven't replied to it yet, and will do a little later today) but just a quick thing, if you put the SD (after imaging) into your PC, does it appear as a 56MB USB drive? Could you open it up and take a screenshot of the contents please?
