I've tried two different cables, and as I said raspbian worked fine (didn't try a gui though). I just assumed that when I soft resetted, it put the default configs, or something, for 9.2 in where the 9.1 configs were and that's what killed it. Once it started working, it was solid until I did that.

While I was typing that, it occurred to me to try disconnecting the fan and seeing if I could get through the setup then. It worked. Once I got through the setup, I could reconnect the fan and everything is fine. Don't know what that says about either hardware of software, but I'm rockin' and rollin' now. So scratch the above ...

Please try the last 9.1.x version, and in case of success upgrade by GUI to the latest.

Okay. Gave that a try and at first it didn't work. I have one of the Vilros boxes that has the fan, I took it apart to make sure I had the fan and everything together right. After I put it back together, it started working, updated, and kept working. I futzed around with it for a bit and eventually did a soft reset to undo the futzing.... and black screen. At least now I know how to get it going, but I'm confused. I'd think if this was a common thing the forum would be full of this problem. Did I get an odd-ball board?

Same issue. Just commenting to bump. Tried first with noobs, and then used etcher to flash an image I downloaded yesterday (2019-12-24). Seems to do fine after I flashed RaspbianLite as a test. I've tried it both on a monitor and a television. Just gets a "no signal" message. I will add that after installing with etcher, I don't even get as far as the network setup. Just a LibreElec logo (sometimes) and a black screen. Raspberry Pi 4b w/4GB or RAM.

Okay, second try, got to the network setup again and ... black screen.
