A picture tells a thousand words (or in this case a video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTUit2Wfnoo this is the problem shown with no SD card, no monitor, no touch screen, no network connection and no keyboard / mouse, no battery. Just power...
I've never connected anything other than the LCD touchscreen and an SD card to this board. It has never had Keyboard/mouse connected and never had any network connected. Images were burnt with DD in Cygwin and also using Win32DiskImager. However I think that might be a mute point if the power light is meant to remain on when there is no SD card and mine doesn't?
I will try to get on IRC and will consider a serial terminal but I think we are getting beyond what I'd expect to have to do with a brand new board and it does seem that this one might be DOA?
I'm with Mark on this on... I think it's the power supply. You'd be able to tell more if you check the power at the 5v pins of the Raspberry Pi header / Euler DC IN, to see if the board is really getting 5v (or less), or the power supply is some stupid 'green' one that switches off if there isn't a big enough load on it... And yes, how you did the disk image is a moot point if it will stay on when the USB power is plugged in without a microSD card plugged in
I just tried mine again (which appears to be the exact same model, but I needed to unplug the wifi module), and it stays on for at least three minutes without the card inserted (and, unsurprisingly, no serial activity), so unless that is unusual behaviour, I'd be blaming the power supply first, and then the board!
