Troubleshooting • Raspberry Pi 5 only shows solid red LED, no green LED, no display output

Hello everyone,

I am looking for help with my Raspberry Pi 5 and I would really appreciate any advice.

Due to limited financial circumstances, I had to buy my Raspberry Pi 5 as a second-hand device. I used it for some time without issues, but later I started having problems.

Initially, I experienced a long red LED issue, and now the board no longer boots at all.

Current symptoms:

* Red power LED stays on continuously
* Green activity LED never turns on
* No display output
* Completely unresponsive

Troubleshooting already attempted:

* Using the official Raspberry Pi 5 power supply
* EEPROM / bootloader recovery attempted multiple times
* Tested with minimal hardware connected
* Tested without additional peripherals

Unfortunately, I contacted authorized sellers and distributors in Türkiye, but they informed me that because I did not purchase the board directly from them, they could not provide technical support or repair assistance.

I currently do not have the financial ability to purchase a replacement board, and I have also been unable to find anyone in Türkiye capable of repairing Raspberry Pi 5 boards.

Based on my troubleshooting attempts, I am concerned this may be a hardware-related issue, possibly involving the power circuitry.

If anyone has suggestions, diagnostic steps, or knows of any possible repair options, I would be extremely grateful.

Thank you very much for your time.
