| Jul 31, 2018 at 1:50 | comment | added | user90066 | Success! I did end up rewriting the sd card. I was trying to follow a youtube video but Etcher was super easy. We have a happy young boy. thank you both for your assistance @dirk | |
| Jul 28, 2018 at 19:04 | comment | added | Dirk | It is booting normally to the command line. If you don't need to keep anything on the card I would write a fresh Raspbian Desktop image to the card using Etcher. See raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images | |
| Jul 28, 2018 at 17:36 | comment | added | user90066 | @Dirk which is the problem. My son unistalled retropi as he didn't want it, thinking it would just boot up normally as Rasbian. | |
| Jul 28, 2018 at 17:18 | comment | added | Dirk | @joan retropi just sits on top of Raspbian. Actually it's logged in as user pi and hostname is matt. Seems to be working fine apart from a dead link to retropi somewhere | |
| Jul 28, 2018 at 17:08 | comment | added | user90066 | Matt is my son so thats a good sign! lol | |
| Jul 28, 2018 at 16:57 | comment | added | joan | It seems to have booted okay and auto logged in as user matt. So the pi appears okay. I'm not familiar with retropi and do not know how much work would be required to get a GUI. It might be trivial. Perhaps someone else can enlighten us. | |
| Jul 28, 2018 at 16:53 | comment | added | user90066 | done. i'm currently downloading both NOOB and rasbian stretch | |

| Jul 28, 2018 at 16:41 | comment | added | joan | I doubt it. Could you describe or provide a photo of the screen once it is settled? | |
| Jul 28, 2018 at 16:38 | comment | added | user90066 | the boot screen scrolls so i wouldn't be able to capture the whole string. So did he really "wipe out" the sd card? | |
| Jul 28, 2018 at 16:35 | comment | added | joan | Writing an image to the SD card is easy if you have PC and an SD card writer. See raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian. Could you provide a legible photo of the boot up string? | |
