Until I couldn't get it to boot.
After flashing the Debian image to a microSD card, I cannot get it to boot. Nothing but the red power light. I've tried two different TVs, different SD cards, different systems flashing the card, redownloading the image, flashing it several times (Win32DiskImager; this image does not need PhoenixCard), different power supplies, and different cables, and checking for network connectivity (no traffic found).
I'm at my wit's end. Does anyone have any idea what may be wrong, other than a DOA board?
Are you connecting to the TV via HDMI, or are you trying to use some kind of HDMI > VGA/DVI adapter? Because that can be problematic.
Also, which rating (volts and amps) and make (branding) of power supplies have you tried?
I've tried an old Samsung (5V 700mA -- i know the amperage is not enough) charger and a newer LG (5V 1.8A) one.
Edit: LG charger is 1.8A, not 2.1
