Failing to boot after upgrade or re-image

I recently upgraded to FW 1.3.0 and found my controller is not booting anymore, I have a monitor and keyboard connected directly and found it either does not post, or posts but stays stuck at the ‘booting…’ screen.

From some of the other topics here I decided to try re-imaging but neither FW 1.3.0 or 1.2.1 have any affect, this is on two separate mSD cards and I can replicate the symptom on another RP3 (that I confirmed working with a 3rd mSD card).

Based on the LEDs on the RPi it appears to be trying to load the firmware from the mSD but there is nothing more I can see

When I connect directly to my network my router reconizes the Pi and assigns an IP address to the ‘Raspberry Pi Corporation’ device. The network name ‘onefinity’ isn’t seen anymore like it was before.

Has anyone seen this issue and overcome it?

I have not experienced this issue but if i had i would i install an image of 1.09. If that works i would create a new image of 1.3 and install that. If either step fails i would then contact 1F support. If 1.09 works then I would assert that the controller is OK. If 1.3 then installs then maybe the previous 1.3 was corrupted in some way but youre good to go. If 1.3 doesnt work then 1F may have some suggestions, but in the meantime i would run on 1.09 as that is good enough for most usecases.
