Two S905X-CC units both showing only red and blue light. Verified SD cards and power supplies

Start Boot

I recently pulled two S905X-CC out from storage after about two years, and after properly flashing a couple SD cards attempted to boot them. Both units only show a solid red and blue light. I’ve verified 3 different power supplies from inland and canakit and the GPIO is showing 5.5v for all of them, however there is no USB power and no HDMI output. I verified three different branded SD cards on a Rasberry Pi 3B+, all booting successfully there.

Is there any way to test if the units are dead? Though I’m at a loss for how they would die in esd bags.

It’s not a Raspberry Pi. Raspberry Pi’s proprietary software will not work.

so Octopi, Armbian, Hoobs, and Pihole all should not work?

Take the standard operating systems and then install the components you need. Armbian has images specifically for Le Potato.
