Hey RpiSoul, what do you mean, not booting? What happens when you plug the power in? Do the LEDs turn on? There are several LEDs, you should, at the very least have the red one on.
Take the time to read
this page. It might be relevant to your problem.
Here are a few preliminary checks I'd do:
- Check the hash signature of the iso you've downloaded. It might have gotten corrupted during download.
- Your SD card might be corrupted. Try using (at least a couple of) other ones. Just to make sure.
- Your SD card slot might be damaged. This has happened to me, they're so fragile! Ultimately I solved this by sticking a piece of paper between the card and the reader to apply the proper pressure.
Feel free to ask us if anything is unclear, and if you find physical damage on your slot, add some pictures so we can give you ideas.
