Re: [LUG] Pi mystery

 
Not as described. At Exeter the screen was never powered off and the HDMI cable was never disconnected from the screen. But it still seems possible that it was something to do with having an HDMI connector. Come to think of it... I don't think either of us has ever seen this board boot when connected to an HDMI cable.

This.

I knew this was the problem instantly, and I don't even own a Pi. I do
read forums/articles about them though and it comes up frequently.
