RGB Duo Device Won’t Boot

[AetherDrive]

Hi Everyone!

I have received my Recalbox RGB Dual HAT and when I plug it in it causes it to boot for about 2 seconds and then turns off. I am using the Argon One M.2 case and have a Canakit PSU. Ive read the manual and set the correct settings and correct orientation as described with the argon one m.2. I’ve tried booting without the M.2 connected as well as all peripherals and it still has the same behavior. When I tried a PHAT Board and put it in a lower slot, I got an extra second of boot time before it crashed. All of this would suggest that I perhaps got a faulty board or something akin to this. Also, as a side, my Recalbox won’t normally boot without the RGB Dual as it’ll hang in the boot screen now, this wasn’t the behavior beforehand . I’ll be creating a new boot image tonight but are there any other suggestions or ideas as to what could be happening?

@aetherdrive It's hard to say something, you need to test some situations to reach some conclusion.
Try a clean, unmodified install of the latest official version. If possible, on another SD card, so you can run your tests without worrying about the rest of the installation. Try without the case, and without the RGB Dual, if everything works, rule out the possibility that the Rpi is the problem.

Then try adding the case, and finally with the RGB DUAL. Doing the tests step by step, you can find out when the problem arises, and with that it is easier to try a solution.
