Your neighbors probably have 2.4GHz WiFi active, but you don't. You can connect an Ethernet cable RPi <-> PC for SSH.

Uninstall all banned add-ons, and post a link to a regular log, not a crash log.

And make sure to use microSDHC, not microSDXC.

I'm not familiar with MS OneDrive. You probably need rclone instead of rsync.

Because you have a working box with the same setup, you can compare links and files in general.

At current RPi prices a repairing is definitely worth a try.

It's hard to solder such small contacts, so pressure contact should be preferred. I would cut off the upper side of the readers housing. Then try to bring microSD contacts back to original position (by a needle or something). Press the adapter (above link) onto those contacts, and try to boot. If it works, make it permanent by some glue.

Maybe one box went to safe mode (power issue etc.), and you just have to reboot.

You could try getting one of these working in the slot in case your slot is failing. No more swapping in/out on the main board card reader. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-Extens…405058951&psc=1

That's SD, not microSD.

PS: JTAG without a working RPi can become a very time-consuming task. I suggest to order a new microSD reader from China (eBay).

Only to be clear, you mean the card reader/slot on the RPi not the one used to write the image?

Yes.

Could it be the power supply?

Unlikely since you tried three of them. Cleaning the slot doesn't mean you can rule it out.

I suggest two options:

a) replace the card reader

b) use a JTAG for searching other issues

If you're convinced it's not the the card reader, take option b).

To my knowledge RPi can't output real interlaced video. I just don't see why this should matter. We have a couple of RPi users, who run CRT TV's successfully with such fake interlaced modes. This definitely works. Just make sure you run the right LE version (see above).

Card reader contacts can get some oxidation over the years. Try to clean it, or if you have the skills, replace it.

If it doesn't write any log info, then I bet on a broken microSD reader.

Remove the microSD after boot fault, connect it to a desktop PC, and check the log file (if any log exists).

Did that RPi2 ever worked with any software? Try Raspberry Pi OS to check the hardware.

Not LE specific anymore, so I move the thread to Off-Topic.

rsync -a --delete <source_folder> <target_folder>

rsync should be available as network tools add-on.
