So my first Raspberry Pi arrived today - and 10 minutes in I decided its broken! Or Is it? 1st off the keyboard & mouse wouldn't work! My first thoughts where the PSU, but I have several good quality 2amp 5volt PSU's and non worked! then I remembered from my Android sticks that not all Micro USB leads are created equal!! I changed the lead to a good quality Micro USB lead and hey! now the keyboard and mouse work! :) So now I can try and install an OS! I was using the NOOBs install as that has a choice of operating systems and is quite easy to download and get onto an SD card! I tried openelec first but after the install that wouldn't boot! so I tried RaspBMC and that woudn't boot either! So I tried all the others! And non of those would boot!! - So know i'm thinking this Pi is broken again! :( I decided to try a different SD card even though the card I was using was brand new! This time all the operating systems installed and worked first time!! :) I have since checked the original card, and it checks out fine! Maybe it wasn't formatted correctly? But it did boot! And install the OS's! - So off to experiment with all these loverly Operating systems! ;)
