I inverted 2 GPIO pins. Is pi4 dead?

ACT LED stops blinking, Raspberry Pi booting and reading from card as always
I found the reason, the resistor connected to the LED fell off (I checked the diagram is 1kOhm). I had to accidentally hook it or it was poorly soldered to the board.

Act LED flashing 3 times quickly after boot
Looks like my RootFS actually got corrupt. A lot of files in /bin and /etc were missing (e.g. passwd files + its backups and shadows), which rendered the whole system useless.

Act LED flashing 3 times quickly after boot
So, if nothing has changed, but something has changed it must be magic – or DHCP (which some would argue is the same thing). But seriously, from what you've described it sounds like the Pi's IP ...
