Official Image

Please describe your issue below:

Hello! I need help, please.
After some numbers of android reinstallations my VIM3 stopped working. Official Android Image burns to emmc fine and without any errors. After vim3 turning on the white LED starts lighting, the monitor (connected by HDMI) turns on for some seconds, but there is a black screen on it. Then the monitor turns off and after that nothing happens. The OS is not starting.
I have the same problem when I try to start Coreelec and Libreelec.
I tried different power and HDMI cables and power supplies. Nothing happens.

What is wrong with VIM3 and how can I fix it?

Thanks.

Hi there @vladimirbarsukov, sorry to hear the issue.

How long have you been using the device ?
Is there any change in video output if you slightly shake the HDMI port connection ?

Maybe your device is stuck in the reboot loop?

VIM 3 won't boot, fast flashing white LED, stuck in "reset loop"

Problem VIM3 no longer boots up, instead the White system LED flashes fast and gets stuck in a Reset loop. Method I installed latest OOWOW version 230308 on SD card. Entered Upgrade mode using TST Mode keys (press Function key 3 times fast on power on). Installed Armbian using Online Scripts method. Power off VIM3 and remove SD card. Power on and White LED flashes fast and VIM3 does not boot up. Investigation If I power off, then back on and enter Upgrade mode using TST mode then it boots …

@vladimirbarsukov can you try booting into recovery system ?

You need to install on any external disk or microSD card and use.

Yes, I just did it, the white LED blinks (2 blinks and a small pause, then blinks 2 times again etc), and there is no visual on monitor by hdmi

[vladimirbarsukov]

Maybe I should clean eMMC before start oowow from SD?

[Electr1]

No, that is not the issue in this scenario, we will follow up on this issue for you shortly.
