sudo apt update …
sudo apt full-upgrade…

now when reboots i can interupt with shift key and see the noobs screen initialise

but dont know from there unless i do new install

plenty of space

cant get back to terminal

Hi Ian,

I haven’t run into symptoms like this before. To get a better idea of what’s happening, I’d open the boot partition on a non-Pi machine and remove the words “quiet” and “splash” from cmdline.txt. Then look for error messages in the output and let us know what you see. Send photos if the messages are easy to catch, a video if it all moves too fast.

Keen to get to the bottom of this one with you!
