My Fates has been shelved for months, and now upon booting it the screen won’t come on at all. I never had this problem before. There are no evident hardware issues. I have to suspect a dead pi or dead screen but I’m curious if others have seen this issue.

I think the last app I had open was Cheat Codes but I see nothing on my Grid. The red and green lights are on the pi.

Edit: it was a bad SD card

If both are on, then that’s some kinda problem with the pi or sd card

Green should flash during SD card activity or in a pattern to indicate a boot problem.

Note: A faintly glowing steady green LED means no boot code has ever been executed,

make sure the sd card is properly seated?

Just to confirm this appears to have completely fixed the issue, thank you very much :slight_smile:

I got the dreaded SuperCollider Fail on boot up of Norns. Not sure what happened. Now nothing will boot in Norns. Orac and Organelle work just fine. I’m backing up the Fates Dust folder now.

I, like 2 others above, had to delete GRD as it was throwing the SC fail for me too after updating apps tonight. If you have GRD installed, you may want to delete it for now. After I removed it, all was well again.

Deleted GRD and that didn’t solve the problem. :frowning:

It was a bad SD card! Couldn’t even successfully re-flash it. How strange.

Thanks again fam! It’s working again after I did the ;restart. So glad I don’t have to reinstall everything and reload all my samples!

I lasered a new case for my Fates using LED diffusion acrylic – my 3D printed PLA case warped from Pi4 heat so it was time for a change. Now waiting on four matching encoder knobs from Modular Addict.

Thanks, I lasered it myself using “LED diffusion” acrylic. I used this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/4594 and I’ve done some similar work with this: https://www.tapplastics.com/black_led_sheet

Hello everyone- are we still doing a separate install for fates yeah? Regarding updates

#2175

Yes.

I’m waiting a couple days to implement the most recent update because there were a few bugs introduced that were/are being fixed.

Hello dear monome community. I’m new here. Just tried the update. Everything went fine until “shut down” was showing. I waited like 15mn and decided to unplug the USB power.
Now, norns won’t launch again. Red light is lit and I have a Black Screen.
Do you think I need to flash the sd card ? Is there an easy way to do this ?
