tony 1812 Posted May 19, 2018 Posted May 19, 2018 Hello, I am an brand new Orange Pi user. I download the Lubuntu_1404_For_OrangePi_v1_0_0.tar image from their site. untried it and made an image to a 8G micro SD card. Now I connected the HTML and started it up, all I got are the yellow and green LCDs lite up, then nothing happens, Are there some additional steps I am not doing? Thanks.

Expand which is the complete Name of your Orange Pi model and from which URL did you download the Lubuntu-Version? If we know the right model-name we could also show you a link to a newer/working armbian-version with desktop
tony 1812 Posted May 20, 2018 Author Posted May 20, 2018 Hummer it is my first Orange Pi I have having to be from a friend, he couldn't get it to boot either so he gave up.) I am not even sure its model, it says Orange Pi on the box and on the PCB it says PC v1.3, the rest I can't quit read because it was printed over some components. Underneath it and there is a diagonally bigger chip has something printed on it but all I can see is H3, but it looks just this one http://www.instructables.com/id/Orange-Pi-PC-Get-Started/ so I guess it is Orange Pi PC. And the image I downloaded is from here http://www.orangepi.org/downloadresources/ under Orange Pi Plus2 and Plus( there are so many of them, so I picked the one says Lubuntu, not even sure if it is the correct one.) And also for the power I use the gpio pin 4 and 6.

Hit the download button above or just pick your board here: https://www.armbian.com/download/?tx_maker=xunlong Then proceed with https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Getting-Started/ and if nothing will work out, we might help you. If you would read at least comments below http://www.instructables.com/id/Orange-Pi-PC-Get-Started/ you would already do that.

tony 1812 Posted May 20, 2018 Author Posted May 20, 2018 Oh I ment pin 4 and 6 sorry, the Orange pi is on because the ethernet port leds are yellow and green are on, but the HDMI monitor does not show any thing.
