Hi everybody!
I had gotten a Raspberry Pi Zero W to do a project with it.
It booted up beautifully the first time and set up.
I then turned it off and unplugged it, and then decided the turn it back on.
To my shock, it didn't show anything on the monitor. I typed in the terminal command followed by the shutdown command, and it shut down (the light flashed and then turned off).
I thought the problem was my cheap mini HDMI to HDMI adapter, so I got a new one, and I still have no post, but can still enter commands.
Does anybody know how I could fix this?


Update: I re flashed the sd card, and it than worked the first time, and then stopped working again. I tried an sd card from a different raspberry pi and it worked fine. I tried the sd card from the one that wasn't working, put it into the good Raspberry Pi, and it didn't work.

Sounds like I flashed it wrong...

If you can send it commands (and it's accepting them), then it's posted you just can't see it. So I'm going with a video output issue not a posting issue. I haven't had this issue with mine, but they are delicate little things. The pins to the hdmi connector haven't come loose from the board have they?
