Can't install windows 11 on radxa x4

Hi,

I tried to install windows 11 following this instructions

I flashed a usb with windows 11 with three different programs:

  1. Windows 11 Installation Media
  2. rufus
  3. balena

I plug the usb in the usb ports connect the hdmi and nothing boots
I tried all 4 ports

Definitely nothing is shown in the screen so I can’t access the F7 option.

Power source is 12v @6 amps, so this can’t be.

I’m missing something?

You can test with any Linux. My x4 was able to boot and install Windows but I couldn’t install display driver at all. I also tried with Linux and came across to the same issue. It turned out it’s a faulty hardware. It can be the same for you. It’s a shame that availability of the device is very low so you can’t easily replace. Scalpers are buying quicker than end users and selling after clearing the stocks for 3x price or more.

First you need to make sure the board is powered on.
the red LED on the motherboard is on?
the keyboard light is on when the keyboard is plugged in?
the CPU is hot?
It would be better if you can check the input voltage and current.

We are very sorry that the X4 is out of stock due to its good sales. We have just produced a new batch and are now selling it on the official store. The quantity is limited.

Yes, I appreciate, I saw that the 16gb version finished in 24 hours. Are you planning to produce more batches or for higher memory such as 32 gb?

16Gb still showing as in stock for me at https://arace.tech/products/radxa-x4?variant=43563045716148

  1. Led is on and fan moving

the keyboard light is on when the keyboard is plugged in?
2. Yes, showing in blue

the CPU is hot?
It has the heat sink and the fan… it feels normal

It would be better if you can check the input voltage and current.
As said previously… power source 12v @ 6 amps, tried official allnetchine power source (2 of them)

Tried all usb ports, 2 different cards too…
Anything else I can try or I got a faulty board from radxa/allnetchina?

Keyboard is on means the board boot up, the problem maybe the monitor or HDMI cable, can you try change the monitor or HDMI cable without adapter?

I have the same adapter and it worked

Did you try connecting the another hdmi port of the SBC?
