Hi guys,
I have another topic opened in Configuration category - something happened to my Home Assistant and I was not able to restore my snapshot from RPI3 to RPI4. Luckily I have copies of all my configs and SD card readable to access everything from the card reader.
What I am trying to understand now - what is actually happened to my hardware.
Raspberry PI:
- My RPI3 is not booting, power supply is OK (Official and recommended by RPI). Power red LED is on, but green LED is blinking couple of times on boot and that’s it.
- LAN LEDs are not ON, so it’s not getting any IP addresses.
- Inserting new flashed SD card doesn’t help
- Connected monitor over HDMI to see if there is anything on the screen, but it stays black.
SD card:
- It is readable (64Gb Samsung) - I extracted all files using card reader.
- It is not writable anymore - tried formatting/reflashing on different devices and it says write protected. Looks like the card is corrupted.
What I think happened - SD card got corrupted, was readable but write protected - PI tried to write… write… write… and died. A bit weird, but could be just a coincidence and bad luck.
As I said - I already migrated to PI4+SD (thinking of SSD when it becomes possible), just trying to find a potential reason of what happened, as the whole house was down for 2 days, wife wasn’t happy.
