Raspberry Pi 4 Model B

Hello. I have a Raspberry Pi Model 4 B and used the OSMC installer for windows to create an SD card for Raspberry Pi 4/400. I chose the version 2024.10-1. When I mount the SD card and connect it to my Samsung HDTV, all I get is a “rainbow” screen. Did I select the wrong model or image?

I have put the micro HDMI adapter into HDMI 0.

Thank you,

Greg

Hi Greg

When did you buy it?

I’m wondering if there may be a new revision and we need updated firmware.

Cheers

Hi Sam,

A friend of mine had been using it and gave it to me. I didn’t buy it. I’ll ask him if he knows what firmware version he had installed on it.

Greg

Hi Sam.

Apologies for the late reply, my friend had another RPi 4b and we tested it. That one boots fine with the OSMC OS I put on the SD card. Turned out to be bad hardware.

Sorry to waste your time.

Greg

No time waste at all, but I admit I was a bit stumped. Best to RMA the faulty hardware back to the seller
