Troubleshooting • Re: Overcurrent on Raspberry Pi 5

You could give us a few more details to work with:

• What power supply are you using?
• What storage device for the OS (SDCard or USB, etc)?
• What other USB peripherals are attached?
• What screen display (if any)?

Similarly to the post above:

• Try booting first with just the display (no USB devices or storage), and see what the diagnostic screen says about the power supply.
• Try booting with the OS on an SDCard, but no USB devices (not even keyboard or mouse to start with).
• Add keyboard and mouse.
• (If you were booting from USB originally), go back to that device without keyboard and mouse.
• Add keyboard and mouse again.

By this point, you should know if one specific USB device is causing the overload, or if you have damaged the Pi itself, or if the PSU is inadequate for the USB load. There are some config tricks that may help with a PD supply that can't do 5V 5A, or with a non-PD supply, but we'll get to those after the first round of tests.
