MiSTer Not Turning On Anymore?

Unread post by rester159 »

I tried to turn on the machine and although the fan works and the little red led on the top right corner turns on, the three main leds do not turn on and the machine doesn't turn on. It worked 10 minutes ago but not anymore. Help?

Check the DIP switches. Once I had the same problem and out of desperation I toggled the DIP switches a few times, making sure to bring them back to their initial position, and the DE10-nano came back to life. It had been running for almost 2 years when this happened.

I'd check the SD card first as Bas mentioned. Then I'd re-seat all the connections on the device. It's possible a power connection isn't making full contact. Do you have an inline power switch for your MiSTer?
