Franco Makou 0 Report post Posted September 3, 2014 I don't understand why it works sometimes then it doesn't. I check the SD card and openelec is perfectly installed. This is my second raspberry pi by the way. I'm using a 2amp Samsung charger.. Is there anyway I can fix this? I feel like it's hardware Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brent1 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2014 Hi there. I am new to Raspberry Pi too and have just joined to answer your question in case I can help. I am still learning but found the same problem the other day. I had tried reinstalling the operating system which didn't work but then bought a new SD card and it worked fine. I could access the old card and could see it had all the files but then noticed it had a bit of trouble sometime being read. Now with the new card it is working faultlessly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brent1 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks for the info Scott. That is very handy to know. I might have a bit of a read up on how to do that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
webpi 2 Report post Posted October 8, 2014 Do you have an extension cord with surge protection? That can help with power supply issues. Sometimes noise in the mains supply can disrupt a Pi. I think this is less of a problem with the Pi B+ because of its improved power handling. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
