Jetson nano turned off after initial setup

I need help with my Jetson Nano. Here’s what happened:

  1. Initial Setup:
    I flashed the SD card with the Jetson Nano image and completed the initial setup (choosing language, region, username, password, etc.).
  2. First Boot:
    After completing the setup, the monitor displayed the home page. However, before I could do anything, the display turned off, and the system seemed to power cycle.
  3. Issue:
    After the initial boot, the system didn’t turn on again. I thought it might be restarting, but it remained off for a long time.
  • When I plug in the power supply, I noticed the green power LED turns on for about 1 second and then turns off.
  1. Troubleshooting:
    I reflashed the SD card with a fresh image, thinking it might be an issue with the OS, but the problem persists.
    The behavior is the same: The green power LED blinks briefly when the power is applied but then turns off immediately.
  2. Current Situation:
    Every time I connect or disconnect the power, the LED glows for about 1 second and then turns off.

Request for Help:

Can someone help me troubleshoot this? I have an urgent project demo for my college, and I need the Jetson Nano working as soon as possible.

Are you use a power barrel or micro usb to provide the power here?

4

USB, I feel if it was the power issue it shouldn’t have supported the display mouse keyboard for initial setup in first place
please correct me and help me resolving this ASAP

5

please use power jack instead for more stable power.

6

i have flash the sd card with new image shall i put sd card inside and use the power jack or how

7

Just to clarify. The LED does not power up mean the power supply has some problem.

It has nothing to do with whether you have sdcard connected or not.

Just like even you don’t have a HDD on your PC, you could still power on the machine…

lemme just use the adapter and check 5v 4A right

9

yes, correct.

yesterday while I was searching for solution I shorted Fc REC and gnd pin and led was continuously glowing

should I worry abt this pls guide

11

I don’t know what to guide here. If your LED is not even able to light up, then it sounds a hardware problem. You should RMA this device.

12

RMA ??

13

Return the device.

14

I purchased new board and it was the first setup and after setup it displayed home page and turned off

15

do i need to post my query here please help

16

That does not matter. If the power LED cannot not light up, it has nothing related to software. It is a pure hardware defect. if you are sure your power supply is correct.

17

through out the setup i used the usb only

18

That does not matter. We really don’t care what did you do there. I only care about whether this board is able to power up now…

19

Please bear with me I’m going to buy the adapter once I’ll check and update you

20

Also, please be aware that there is a pin to switch the power source between adapter and usb.

Read the document to understand how to use devkit first…

I used the adapter still the issue remains the same
when I turn on the supply the led glows for a sec and turn off
