    Worst case scenario you can take it apart & put it back together to maybe find a defective part. Terminal is tricky because of the language barrier. It’s all just coding with extra steps which isn’t meant to dumb it down.

        to be fair, the Raspberry Pi has never been pitched as an idiot-proof consumer appliance.

        it is supposed to be a cheap way for people to get into studying programming /computing / electronics.

          Correction…it’s never been pitched that way by the makers of raspberry pi.

          I first learned of it on youtube by some guy showing how easy it was to set up, and get your home arcade up and running in 30 minutes.

          Yeeeeaaaahhhh…no.
