Raspberry Pi 5 Media Centre (Argon)

1

Hi,

I would like to make a Raspberry Pi 5 media centre using a Raspberry Pi 5 Model B 8GB and parts from Argon.

I have flashed Libreelec onto a microSD card.

I’m trying to setup the Argon ONE V3 case and its NVMe expansion board and am following the booklet for the case(s).

I am unsure how to connect the flat flex cable to the PCI.e connector/port. It just slips when I try to connect it.

I pulled back the tab on the PCI.e connector/port as shown in the booklet but am not sure how that can help.

Can anyone please help me complete this project on my own? I can post photos of the current state of the project if need be

Hi @Ahmed43918

With that ribbon cable and the clasp, you need to pull it back to unlock it, then once the cable is inserted you need to push it back into place to hold the cable securely.

Thank you, I’ll try that

please help resolve this

Hi @Ahmed43918

All of the mounting hardware for the Argon case will be in an anti static bag that comes with the case, there will be 6 in total, 2 countersunk screws for the inside of the case and 4 dome head screws as well as 4 rubber feet for the outside of the case.

If you didn’t receive those with your order, please email us at support@coreelectronics.com.au with your order number and we will look into this further with you there.

Who do I contact to find out my order number?

Hey @Ahmed43918,

The easiest place to find your order number would be to find it in the order confirmation email you would have received when you placed the order for these parts.

If it helps you find it, the order number usually looks something like this: 1000123456

Hope this helps!

What size of screwdriver do I need for inserting the round head screws into the bottom cover of the Argon ONE V3/M.2 NVMe PCIe

Hi @Ahmed43918

Looking at the screws it would appear that they are PH 0

Hi,

I’ve completely assembled the Raspberry Pi 5 media centre with Argon.

Please help me do Step E and beyond in the booklet

How do I connect the Raspberry Pi 5 with Argon to the internet to do Step E?

Hi @Ahmed43918

You can either connect the Pi directly to your router via an ethernet cable, otherwise you would need to input your WiFi credentials into the network manager, by default it is displayed on the top right of your screen on the task bar.
