Pironman 5 does not power up

General
1

New build. Power plugged in HDMI connected to monitor.

2

What kind of power supply do you have, aftermarket or official one? If you plug power directly to rpi board, does it work?

3

Official power supply. What else should I check?

4

If you plug the power supply directly to the rpi5 board, without pironman5 board, does it power up? If it’s work, take a look of connections between rpi5 board and pironman5 board.

I’ll try that. Thanks.

  1. We recommend unplugging and re-plugging the USB-HDMI adapter, then powering the pironman5 to see if it can start normally. It is very likely that the USB-HDMI adapter is not making proper contact, or there may be an issue with the adapter itself, preventing the Pi 5 from powering on correctly.
  2. Have you removed the Pi 5 from the case and powered it separately? Does it work normally?
  3. If it does not work, try assembling one component at a time and starting the Pi 5 to see if it operates normally. After assembling each module, start the Pi 5. If it starts, that component is functioning properly and is not causing issues. Continue assembling the next component and restart, and so on, until the pironman5 is fully assembled. If the Pi 5 fails to start after adding a specific component, please let us know.

Got it powered up. Now the led next to the sd card blinks. It will not boot. Trying to load the suggested OS and location from the website. What should I do next. The power on button does not effect the condition. Fan lights are on. Screen is not on.
Thanks so much for your help.

Please send link for video to verify the hardware. I am unable to find my ssd installed in the pironman. Also, the screen is not on and the power button does not work.

Does those 2 pins are centered correctly? Does power switch connector is well connected?

If you make a bridge between those 2 pins, does it power up?

Weirdyguy’s analysis is correct.
If you are using the Bookworm system with a desktop environment, a short press of the power button twice will turn it off; alternatively, you can long-press the power button for 5 seconds to shut it down. Pressing the power button once more will start the system.

Please check if the pins of the power adapter are properly aligned with the pins of the Pi 5.
Also, check if the pins inside the adapter’s socket are properly aligned with the power button connector.

You can unplug the power button wiring, connect the power supply to the case, and once the system starts successfully, use a screwdriver to short the adapter’s interface to see if you can shut it down.
If you are using a Raspberry Pi with a desktop system, try shorting the adapter interface twice to see if the case can shut down normally.
Shorting twice is equivalent to pressing the power button twice to turn it off.

If it can shut down, it indicates there is an issue with the power button; if there is no response, it suggests there is a problem with the adapter.

Thanks. I’ll try that. I’m using Ubuntu with Cinnamon as a desktop.
