RPI 4 Bricked?

Channels DVR Server Raspberry Pi
#1

So my RPI 4 server has worked well for a couple of years with zero to little intervention. Today I was organizing the storage room where it’s hidden and must have bumped it or something.

Went to turn on the TV (all fire sticks) and it could not find the server. Tried via Chrome with the correct ip and nothing. I unplugged the pi and my router and let it sit a few minutes. Plugged it back in and still nothing.

I checked my TP Link app and it shows the raspberry pi connected to the network (static ip) but I continue to be unable to access the server from any device.

I took the pi and plugged it into my usb c hub with a monitor and 90w power delivery but it didn’t show up on the monitor. Not sure if the Pi is just dead or what. Any suggestions on resurrecting my device?

Try another SD card in it if you're using one. I recently changed to another case and bumped my SD card cracking it even though it looked fine.

I just reflashed ChannelsDVRServer_PI4.img.xz onto the USB Hard Drive via the Raspberry Pi Imager and still no joy.

I noticed that the green light on the pi flashes briefly twice upon power up and then stays solid green.

Well tried a half dozen more times and it is working now. Didn't realize reinstalling the image on the USB drive would erase all of my old recordings and backups :cry:
