Jetson Nano Not Displaying Anything

I have a Jetson Nano with the OS Image on a 128 GB SD Card. When I connect it to a monitor though, there Is a screen that says there is “no signal”. I have flashed the SD Card multiple times and it is still not working. Even when I plug in a keyboard or a mouse it doesn’t give them power either.

check the power jumper setting.

I can’t access the link.

Odd, it’s just a link to another forum topic, anyway, the advise at the link is

make sure the jumper labeled DC_EN is installed near the power barrel connector.

Yes, it is connected at the DC_EN and it still does not work.

So idk, it should display something even before the sdcard image loads, sounds like some issue with your Jetson and/or display. Perhaps try a standard Jetson OS and see if you can get that going first.

Also perhaps try powering from a good known power supply rather than the V5 if that was the power source.

I also can’t access the link, was this maybe in the private VAIC category here on the forum?

As for the post topic, I would suggest trying to power the jetson with a standard barrel power connector (does one come in the kit?) just to make sure the jetson itself is fine and not damaged. Could you also send a few photos confirming the position of the relevant jumpers and showing how you have connected the jetson?

yea, you are right, it’s in the AI beta channel.

Any chance that category could be made public? Or at the least, some of the relevant topics like that moved to the public VAIC category? Since the hardware is the same I think there is some information and discussion in there that could be useful to VAIC teams this season.

Not at this stage, it’s from the 2020-2021 season, the system has changed since that time, I think it would just cause confusion as it mentions things like the (now obsolete) USB dongle and other items now not included.

The link I posted literally just said “check the jumper” with a picture of the jetson, that image probably came from the Nvidia documentation. For most issues not directly related to the VEX image or software, it’s probably best to look there first.

So I was looking at the power output of both V5 Brains. The brain with the working Jetson Nano connected to it displays a higher power output than the Jetson that does not work. Could this be the issue, and if so should I get a new Jetson?
