No hdmi output from new OPI ZERO 2 H5

Hi.
I have received my first PI Zero 2 H5. Burned the micro sd with OS downloaded from orangepi web and started gived power but no video.

The board works because if I don't put the sd card the android in internal memory startup and I can see htdmi output.

I have tryed all OS images from oragepi all with the same result, no hdmi output (the monitor get the signal but got black screen)

The sd is booting because if I activate numlock on a terminal screen and then switch screen with ctrl-alt-f2 and than back to ctrl-alt-f1

the numlock keyboard led turn off and on as expected from a booted linux.

I have tried two pc monitor and a TV with same result.

The power source is a 2A pc power supply not a budget phone charger.

What I'm doing wrong?

Thankyo

Try armbian with modern kernel, but still experimental:

Thankyou for the link.

The armbian H5 give me HDMI output but unfortunally the OS keep rebooting when reach the Loading Kernel poit.

So, the official images available on orangepi website are not 100% working images?

If "nightly" doesn't work, try the other one with "dev" in the name. For nightly I can't give you warranty, that works, but others 100% work.

You must have some hardware related problem, most likely bad power supply ... read "Getting started" to understand problems.

Kernel on those images is 4.11.x and still in development, which means functions are missing, while kernel from official download has better functionality, but it's old and buggy ...

Thank you for the support.

The "dev" version is working quite well so it was not a power supply fault I think.

Thank you again.

I have the same issue, boots from eMMC without any problem, but not from any image downloaded from the website.
Green led goes on for 2 seconds but nothing happends.
Also tried different 5Volt 3 amps powersupply but nothing seems to be working.
I don't want to make a custom Armbian since all is still under development for the H5 cpu
