Hi everyone,
I recently bought a new Raspberry Pi 4, and I'm facing a really frustrating issue. Every time I try to update using the Pi freezes completely. The only way to recover is to unplug the power and reboot.
Sometimes, after rebooting, the green LED blinks 8 times briefly, and the Pi won’t boot unless I wait a while or reflash the SD card. I’m using the official power supply, so I don’t think it’s a power issue.
I’m wondering:
Could this be caused by a faulty SD card?
Or is it possible that the Raspberry Pi board itself is defective?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
