And here: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/818
When I first booted the Pi Zero W, there was no ACT LED flashing yet it still booted.
The device had no wifi or bluetooth, I ran iwconfig and hcitool dev and nothing showed up.
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ‘Revision’ | awk ‘{print $3}’ outputs: 000f when it should be 9000c1
added “force_board_rev=0x9000c1” at the end of config.txt and ACT LED lit up for the first time, only resulting in the device not booting.
Doesn’t look like there is a fix that I can apply for this either, as the PI needs to be programmed properly when in factory, doesn’t look like this one was.
Wanting to know if there is anything we can do about a replacement?
