Controller won’t start (solved, power cable was unplugged)

Used my machine this morning now it won’t start up. Fan comes on but display flashes blue ever several seconds and joystick/game controller will not move the machine. Cannot access controller through web interface either. Anyone have anything like this happen before?

May want to grab a new Micro SD card and flash the buildbotics OS to see if that fixes your problem. Raspberry Pis are known for trashing their SD cards.

I go this resolved. Almost embarrassed to say it but the power supply to the screen came unplugged. The odd thing though was everything was dead. The joystick/controller wouldn’t move the carriage. Couldn’t access the interface through a web browser. All of that because the display didn’t have power (even though it was flickering blue every few seconds).
