Help please, My trusty old Pi3 has become non responsive. Its stuck on the gui login asking for password with no response from the keyboard. Is this recoverable ? Cheers Kev
Hook up a monitor, keyboard and mouse to the pi ( you will need a HDMI cable between the Pi and the monitor). Start the pi again by removing power and connecting the power again.
It will show what is happing on the monitor while booting, it could be your card is going defective and that the system is in readonly mode.
If so you will need a new SD card and reimage the card again.
From another computer try connecting via ssh to login.
Open a cmd window and enter ssh (ip of RPi)
Example: ssh 192.168.0.101
Hello there, Can I clone an image of the defective cadr? Or can I force the read write by mounting the card on a linux box. Very strange fault.
Hi there, Ssh is not working .
Also the boot seems fine just stuck on the login screen with no keyboard function.
Image a new microSD card with Raspberry Pi Imager on a pc. Make sure to set the options you want: user, password, ssh.
