Raspberry Pi 5 died in Zynthian V5.1

Hey all. I got my Zynthian V5.1 in October, and I’ve been enjoying it a ton! I have it sitting on top of a keyboard that I can go fiddle with whenever I feel like.

In December, I noticed that it was no longer turning on. The Raspberry Pi 5 (which I purchased as part of the Zynthian kit) now flashes the LEDs green 8 times, indicating SDRAM failure. I’m not sure how this happened, and I assume that the only reasonable option for repair is replacing the Raspberry Pi.

I feel like this is an unusually fast time for the Pi to die. Is there a warranty process I can follow, having purchased it along with the Zynthian?

Thanks!

Thanks @jofemodo. I’ll need to disassemble my Zynthian a bit to get a good recording, as I’ve been peaking through the DIN port to see the status lights.

Should I share the video here, via email, or somewhere else?
