What is the problem?

I kept getting the notification of python expiring etc etc so i FINALLY decided to update and figured the best way is to just redo octopi. I went through all the steps to a T and for some reason i can't get it to boot whatsoever. I have a Raspberry Pi 4 (1gb) that i got WITH my Ender 3 S1 Pro (got used) THANKFULLY i was able to get Octopi running on my laptop to still have remote control/monitoring (webcam stream is laggy as all hell) but it works.

What did you already try to solve it?

I have tried re writting the Micro SD card MULTIPLE times and still no luck...tried different Micro SD cards and even a USB stick

Have you tried running in safe mode?

No, can't even get the Pi to boot using OctoPi

Did running in safe mode solve the problem?

N/A

Systeminfo Bundle

You can download this in OctoPrint's System Information dialog ... no bundle, no support!)

well i can't get the dang bundle if i can't even get my pi to boot....

Additional information about your setup

OctoPrint version, OctoPi version, printer, firmware, browser, operating system, ... as much data as possible

OctoPi latest version, Printer = Ender 3 S1 Pro

GREAT news! After persevering and sticking with it and doing some deeper diagnostics...it turns out the EEPROM bootloader needed to be re done on my pi 4. Thankfully I still have my Pi 3b+ and a Pi-top laptop to check things. The Micro SD card I was trying to use got corrupt (didn't know that you NEED to turn off OctoPi via the command not just power off) and who knows if the gentleman I got it from did the same. So took my MicroSD card from my 3b+ used the imager to put OctoPi on that and checked the boot on my 3B+ led me to notice the 4 having boot issues after confirming by running a test I found via someone in the Discord I am back up and running. LOVE this software/product!
