I am a newbie to Raspberry Pi and recently bought Raspberry pi 3 B+. I first downloaded and burn the minibian on sd card as some course suggested minibian. But whenever I connect pi with power, only pwr led glows(doesn't blink) and every other doesn't. After connecting to router through ethernet, no led lights up, not even ethernet indicator.
I searched for some same problems on various sites and most of those forums concluded that there is some hardware failure and they replaced the pi with some new one and it started working then. But I don't think that my pi is dead or broken, it came from one of the official supplier of pi in India(element14). I think there's is something missing that most people neglected.
Following are the steps that I followed:
Deleted every partition on sd card and made a new one.
Then formatted the whole partition.
burnt iso image on sd card with win32diskimager 1.0.
Inserted sd card in pi and powered it on.
What's the issue? Why leds of pi and ethernet indicator not glowing?
P.S. : Don't mind the progress, I am a noob to Raspberry Pi.
