RPi 4 with Argon one Pi4 stopped working

[Moog]

I had the Pi4 working.
I installed it into the Argon case and all was working.
Attached was a monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse and speaker via audio plug.
A printer was attached via a powered usb hub (but not turned on).
It had been working and I had used it for scanning and printing.
I had installed jriver software and was playing music via my nas music server.

I powered down, detached audio cable and plugged in a Fiio portable dac to a usb port.
When I tried to power on from the power button, nothing happened … and no lights.

I removed usd and again nothing.
I tried another power supply that was working on another pi and nothing.
I removed Argon and just attached the pi direct … again nothing.
I tried with another sd card … nothing.
Any suggestions?

RESOLVED!

It was the power cable adaptor for micro-USB to USB-C (not from Core!)

Once replaced all is back in working order.

Hey Moog,

That’s great to hear! Sorry we didn’t get back to you sooner, I was looking into this earlier but went down a bit of a rabbit hole trying to find an answer…

Thanks for this.

I ended up plugging in a hifiberry amp I had on another older pi, and verified it still worked by using that power supply.

I then checked it also with a power bank that had a usb c connection.

Then down to the local computer store and bought a new connector.

It may be worth you adding this to your memory bank.

It happened to me without any explainable reason.

Cheers,

M.

Thanks for the details!

Will do, lets hope this doesn’t have to happen to anyone else.
