Recalbox starts on logo screen, then black screen and RPI never turns on again

[hrqmonteiro]

Hi, i found an old Rpi2 yesterday, which have Recalbox installed (from 2016 or so), then i removed and installed OSMC and used it normally. Then i decided to install emulators again, so i downloaded the latest recalbox pi2 image and flashed it.

But it simply turns on the Logo Screen (Loading Screen) and then goes to black screen, and after that if i turn my pi off and tries to turn it on again, it doesnt even light the lights up. And i have to remove from SD and flash anything else again.

Any help please.

Hi @hrqmonteiro,

Did you try to edit config.txt ? It could be due to a bad boot resolution with your screen.

These manuals will help you :

@hrqmonteiro you probably didn‘t wait enough on first boot for the share partition to be properly created. Re-flash the sd card and wait as long as needed until recalbox boots up. And of course, aleways turn it off safely from the menu.

@paradadf

It stayed on for about 10 minutes, And have you check the part when i wrote that the Pi lights went off? This is the strangest part for me

@guicln I didn't think of that, but i'll check.

@hrqmonteiro I read everything you wrote, yes.
