Short and sweet, I got a sweet potato the other day from Amazon. I got it all ready and in a case with active cooling. Plugged it up and all I get on the screen is this…
Scanning for bootflows in all bootdevs
Scanning global bootmeth ‘efi-mgr’ :
Scanning bootdev ‘mmc@74000.bootdev’ :
Card did not respond to voltage select! : -110
Scanning bootdev ‘mmc@72000.bootdev’ :

I’ve tried a couple of sandisk cards, i’ve tried multiple power sources, i’ve checked everything I could for any damage, such as the sd card slot. I cannot find any reason why this is doing this and I have not found any other posts that mention anything mine is. I found one google result that matched what it was saying but then they fixed it by using a different power supply.
I’ve also tried the suggested win imager and the raspberry pi imager. Neither result in a boot. All I have are steady red and blue lights. No green light ever comes on that I’ve seen mentioned in other posts. Nothing in the official “hey I cant boot” guide was of any help. Is this thing bricked? I saw before I purchased that Amazon reported a lot of returns. I got a Le Potato before and it worked fine. Wanted another but I got this thing.
