I have just got the new Raspberry Pi model a+ and was very excited. Removed the old model a, and replaced it with the new model a+'s 26 compatible pins. I started fine, and I can see it runs the code as it should. However, I have already run into two problems.
The HDMI port does not show anything on the screen anymore. This has never been an issue before. I use the LINDY hdmi to vga adaptor.
I was very excited to see how much the powerconsumption would decrease. But was very disapointed to see the powerconsumption actually increased by 50%, whitch was a bit of a blow.
I have just replaced the old model a with the new model a+ and copied a raspian image to a 16gb micro sd. I know there is not a lot of experence yet on the subject, but maybe some of you also will have simular problemems?
Best Regards Allan
Try running a
sudo apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get upgrade
on another Pi with the same SD card inserted. There might be some necessary software updates required for the A+.
