petediscrete I put a thin slice of paper in, but didn't help. Still not working.

Da Flex that's maybe the last solution or I am an idiot and don't know how to create an image.

Da Flex thanks, but I can't find a proper part. Maybe the easiest to buy a new RPi or a Mi Stick

petediscrete but if the slot is already damaged ...

Quote from Da Flex

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).

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

Quote from Da Flex

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

Okay, I cleaned it and tried it again, didn't work. So should be the SD card slot of the RPi. Could it be the power supply?

Da Flex there is no log file. I also tried to start Raspberry Pi OS, same issue.

HiassofT as mentioned, I tried it with 3 different SD cards. Insert a SD card probably 100 times. Yep, tried RPi OS, didn't work.

Da Flex Yes, the RPi2 worked well over 5 years and the last used software was LibreElec until it didn't work at once.

HiassofT Read the article earlier. I know that the RPi can't read from the SD card, but still don't know why, or the RPi is broken.

Hi,

I have a problem with my Raspberry Pi 2 and LibreElec. I tried to turn on the device but it suddenly did not work. The red LED and green LED were only permanently on. So the first thing I tried was to turn the device on and off. Works sometimes . Unfortunately this did not help. So the fiddling started. I have tried installations on three different SD cards and three different power supplies as well as two LibreElec images. Only one HDMI cable and one LAN cable are connected to the Raspberry.

I have tried to install LibreElec with Windows 10. For this I used 3 different SD cards 4, 8 and 32 GB. For formatting SD Card Formatter was used or Disk Management. LibreElec USB-SD Creator, Rufus and Win32 DiskManager were used to write to the SD cards. The images used were LibreElec 10.0.2 and 9.2.8.

I tried the same thing on Linux KDE Neon. Only that here I used the Disk Manager and Etcher to write to the SD cards.

Nothing helped. When inserting the SD card with LibreElec into the Raspberry Pi 2, the red and green LEDs light up permanently and nothing happens.

Can anyone help me? Perhaps I have overlooked something obvious.
