another noob' 1 Report post Posted November 27, 2014 Folks, I know I am way behing with getting the new one, but now I have. Got the micro SD card, coppied the files as needed and booted it. "I need network connection" Ooops! Forgot that that! Quickly grabbed my Cat5 cable and plugged it in the Pi. N O T H I N G ! I notice the new one has LEDs on the RJ45 connector. They aren't glowing. HELP! Tried a couple of cables, a couple of sockets. NADA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
another noob' 1 Report post Posted November 27, 2014 Update: The "INSTRUCTIONS" given and what really needed to be done ARE different! Fixed that problem, but now I have noticed there is no USB power. So the mouse/keyboard don't "work" - funny that. The screen is working and I am asked which OS I want to install..... But as I can't select any and press "go" it is a bit of a sticking point. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
