HP Elitedesk Ryzen 2400GE Blackscreen

My System Specs

HP EliteDesk 705 G4 Mini

Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE,

16GB RAM

Tried to install

LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-12.0.1.img.gz

created a bootable Stick with the latest USB-SD Creator (tried etcher as well)
Boot to Stick
Select install

What happens is, nothing Screen stays black. The same happens when trying to use run and live options.

Thereafter, I tried

LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-10.0.4.img.gz

Install works, Kodi works as expected.

Then, after reading through Redit, I updated LibreElec by the internal Update to 12.x, rebooted, Screen Stays black.

Is there any chance to get ^LibreElec 12 running on my machine or, do I need to install Debian, Fedora or smth to use Kodi?

Tally Ho, Holzbein!

We want to check whether the right graphics driver was loaded. On LE 12.0.1:

login by SSH
activate log level 2 by creating advancedsettings.xml
reboot
login by SSH
post the resulting URL from pastekodi command

Strange thing, i starteted the machine today, after i gave up yesterday..i did an update to 12.01 and seems to work now ..thats kinda Strange.

OK, Addition: Because I'm unable to edit my previous Post:

As stated above, I booted successfully to Kodi checked the Version, it was 12.01 then tried a reboot, because i was curiouse why it worked now, and yesterday it did not, the result was Black Screen again.

Here is the pastekodi url:

Code

echo "sleep 10" > /storage/.config/autostart.sh

See if that ^ works around the issue? .. it will delay Kodi startup for 10 seconds, which should allow kernel drivers to finish loading in the background.

What if you power cycle again?

**chewitt** · December 3, 2024 at 4:54 PM New

Any difference between cold boot and warm (re)boot?

Same, I tried turing it of and on multiple times.

On 1 of about 30 tries it works, the other 29 times the screen stays black ..

Tested Windows yesterday just to be shure the EliteDesk is ok. No issues there.

Tried different DP cables as well.

So tried the legacy image aswell. Same thing.

Makes no dif. If i hot or cold reboot ..

1. With updating to LE12 nightly you do get kernel 6.6.63, maybe something is fixed:

Code

wget -P /storage/ https://test.libreelec.tv/12.0/Generic/Generic/LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-12.0-nightly-20241204-f894320.img.gz

2. On one of the successful boots:
a. Create a log for our curiosity
b. Use getedid create to save the found configuration for further boots.

I assume you use a DP-to-HDMI adapter, because your Mini PC only has two DisplayPort outputs. Try a different adapter, or a monitor with DisplayPort input. DP-to-HDMI is known to be a trouble maker.
