Hi everyone,
I just got a Raspberry Pi 5 and installed a new OS using the official Raspberry Pi Imager. The flashing process to the microSD card completed successfully, but after inserting it into the Pi and powering it on, it doesn't seem to boot properly.
Here's what happens:
The red power LED turns on and stays on.
The green LED lights up for 3–5 seconds, then turns off, leaving only the red LED on.
Pressing the power button makes the green LED blink once, but nothing else happens.
There is no display output to the monitor (screen stays black).
I'm a complete beginner and not sure where to start troubleshooting. Has anyone experienced this or know what might be causing it?
Additional info:
Raspberry Pi 5
OS installed: Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit
I've already tried reformatting the SD card and reinstalling the OS, but the issue persists
I'm using the official 27W USB-C Raspberry Pi power adapter
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
