You wouldn’t believe it, but especially when you have a high screen resolution or an ultra-wide screen connected to your PC with a cheap HDMI cable, this problem is most likely to occur. Only these two solutions below will help you: You Need a High Speed HDMI Cable! If you already checked with sufficient known good power adapters, and they are sufficiently amp'd, then removed all peripherals and test the pi alone.When your monitor turns off and on just like that, in most of the cases, I would guess 90% it’s because the HDMI cable is not able to transfer the data from your PC and vice versa fast enough. The keyboards don't take up too much, but can offset the power if the wifi adapter is also sucking off the main power running the pi. Whats your power adapter amperage rating? Check the wifi amperage rating, keyboards, and your models pi power ratings, and add then subtract from the power supply amperage. Eventually more and more showers being used, and you only have a set amount of water flow to supply it all, eventually the water pressure will be divided to the point where it's only dribbling out, and nobody can take their showers. The more people you have taking a shower at once across the bathrooms in the house, the less the water pressure coming out. When you plug in more peripherals like keyboard, and especially wifi adapters, you tax out that amperage coming in.

Your amperage power supply will need to be sufficient enough to power the demands of the Pi (and overclocking will put more power load on it).

Meaning, some phone charges for micro use, or even iPhone stuff etc will be 5v of course, but look at the Amperage. All power adapters, regardless of USB type or connector are not created equally, power rating wise. So, is it time to get a new Pi? Or is there something else I can do?Ĭheck what output your power adapter is. I've un-overclocked it now, but the issue persists. It was overclocked to the turbo setting, and I think this may have been the issue. If it's relevant, my Pi was overclocked for about a week prior to this, though I didn't use it much in that period. I'm pretty sure it's not the network adapter's fault, since it used to work fine. When this is happening, the red LED on the PI itself flashing in time with the power to the keyboard (that is, when the keyboard turns off, the light flashes.) So I have a Raspberry Pi B+ - I've had it for several years now, which I think may be the cause of this problem, though I'm not sure how.īasically, it's fine when I have just a keyboard plugged in, albeit a bit slow, and likewise when I have a keyboard and mouse plugged in, but when I plug in my USB network adapter a little lightning bolt symbol flashes at the top right of the monitor, and power to the keyboard is repeatedly cut off, then turns back on, then gets cut off again, and so on.
