Hi all -
Yes you are correct its in the wrong forum -- I was reading them all and didn't change back to the other forum before posting.

Could you move it across or should I re-post ?

The pack I bought is "Power Bank" ECtechology - Its not a waste because I use it all the time for other equipment BUT IF.. there is another that anyone could recommend then great. Phil

Technical Support / Booting from a power pack

« on: September 11, 2017, 03:48:05 pm »

Hi All -
I have read the stuff about having the correct cable etc and I did have some issues in the past with not having a "powerfull enough power supply" BUT I have recently bought a powerpack which is pretty umphy and also 3amp capable.. BUT when I try to boot from it the Raspberry wont even light up the leds - Now this same powerpack will works find for all other stuff - ALSO if I use the same cable from a mains power supply - which incidentally only cable of 2 amps -  the PA boots fine -- Its this a AC/DC thing is it? I wonder if there is a thread on this somewhere.

Regards and hoping !!
Phil

Ok Chaps - I've read the notes (cant say if I'm using the supplied power cable or not)  BUT the good news is that I have changed power supplies.. (to another that also says 2 amp incidentally !) and I am able to boot it -- So thanks for the encouragement  I did reseat the bridge - So final point, its running 20170619 is that the latest SW release.

Technical Support / Just wont boot. red light - sometimes red green.. but wont boot

Ok Chaps - Am new to this game -- Bought the PAW - first started it at home and registered it. Have run it a couple of times - not had chance to put it in the A/C yet.. Now it it just wont boot even at home. So I happen to have a spare RP2 (spare at home) so swapped it all about and that at least boots BUT comes to the login prompt when I connect  the HDMI. (It doesn't stay up either btw -just keeps rebooting too )
Tried several power supplies. Is the original just knackered? .. what do I do.
