I got bought a new Raspberry Pi B as a present that came with an SD card, power and case etc but no instruction manual, and since it is meant to be about "teaching" I thought I'd just plug it all in, power up and see what happens. What could go possibly wrong?
I was presented with a window title NOOB v2. something I think, and a long list of what I figured were operating systems I could install. For some reason the RaspBMC sounded like fun, so I clicked that one, and after confirming I was sure it started installing. After about 4% it suddenly stopped with an error about the file system, and then went to blank screen.
Nothing seemed to respond at this point, so I cut the power and turned it back on again. This time it gave me the rainbow screen, and then a grey screen saying "For recovery mode hold shift
", then the screen goes black.
At first (when the grey screen is up) PWR
, FDX
, LNK
and 100
LEDs are lit. After the screen goes black, only PWR
and ACT
are lit, and then ACT
goes out.
Holding down shift does nothing.
What have I done, and how can I undo it?
