I’ll check the battery with a multimeter and replace it at most 
I’ll let you know if that was the problem.
Battey has 3,003V so I decide to change it.

Thank You!
Have installed 2025.02 on 2 Pi5. One with Allo Digione Sig. The second a HiFiberry Digi+. On both the power lights are RED and Orange flashing???.
The HiFiBerry unit (a year old) never worked until this release.
Much Thanks.
Hi. I have a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W that has disappeared from my network. It boots up with solid green light, but can’t find it on my ASUS Mesh network.
Have tried rebooting the network to no effect.
Have also tried reformatting the micro SD card, but am being prevented from doing as I’m getting a ‘write-protected’ error message.
I had this happen to me several months ago and solved by replacing the SD card and starting from scratch, but don’t really want to go down that route again.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
Even a way to force a format of the SD card would be super helpful.
Thanks!

You can use the free program “SD Card Formatter”. Be sure to format the SD card and not the harddisk of your PC
But I would change to another brand of SD-cards to do a test if those are more robust.
I personally use most of the time Kingston “Industrial Grade” 8GB for my RoPieee installations. Never had an y difficulties whit hose. YMMV.
Good luck, Frank.
Thanks for the tip Frank.
I’ve been trying to use SD Card Formatter, but receive a ‘Cannot format write protected drive’ error. Happens with both a 32GB SanDisk and a 128GB Samsung EvoPlus card.
Is there a solution to this other than a new card?
I’m afraid that your SD cards is not working any more. Normally that SD Card Formatter is always able to format a healty SD-card. I would try an “Industrial Grade”-card, as they are made to be used 24/7. That is why I use that type of SD-card for my RoPieee-projects.
Good luck, Frank.
I see on Google that you can try to use “Write Protection Removal Tool”. Never have to do that, but give it a chance.
Just check the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPSLwj0JEJI.
I hope this will solve your problem.
Thanks Frank. Does look like they are broken…
Strange that you have already 2 broken SD Cards on a RPI.
Something wrong with the RPI? Or do they become very hot?
Good luck, Frank.
I have a couple of micro SD cards that have become unusable after being in Pi’s for several years. It could be heat, but thankfully they are cheap enough to replace
It’s a Pi Zero 2 W in a FLIRC case and does appear to run hot. I don’t have any other Pis, so not sure what a typical run temperature should be though…
What temperatures do your installations run at
But just over a year old, so it’s running through the cards at a rapid rate!
On the Ropieee information tab you can see the temperature (at least on a Pi 3&4).
Mine generally sit between 50 and 60 Celsius.
I’ve never had a card or Pi fail in Ropieee in several years.
My RoPieees are running up to 50°C. But 60°C shouldn’t be a problem.
In the old days of Raspberry PIs, I had several SD-cards that died. I don’t know if the Raspberry PIs have been improved, or their software, or that the quality of the SD-cards are much better these days, but since several years I haven’t had one dead SD-card any more (but I always by “Industrial grade” SD-cards for Raspberry PIs that are running 24/7).
When you buy a new SD-card, check if it is OK for “higher temperatures”.
Good luck, Frank.
Have the Pi Zero up and running again with a new SD card.
Temperatures have been just over 40 degrees so far.
As Frank_M says, the standard SD cards aren’t robust enough for Ropieee. I use Industrial grade cards and none have failed since I bought them. I think the rewrites caused by Ropieee updates eventually cause failures in the standard cards. They just aren’t made for that. They’re generally made just to write once to store photos.
