That is normal. Windows is unable to read Linux ext4 file system.

Ok so I could try to see if it's readable on a live Linux distribution. I'll check this and try to change the psu but if the SD image is good and the psu is right the only thing is that both opi are broken? Or I have to check the log through the uart cable?

Ok the xiaomi psu give me with the multimeter the right tension of 5v 2a. I'm sure of this.

Where/How did you meaure this? under load, without load???

NB:
If you measure the voltage at the barrel connetor without the OPI connected, you measure the voltage without load! This would not help you. Please measure the voltage at the 5V rail as I discribed to you before.

Some UART messages might help but if you don't have good PSU and SD card, you are wasting time.

Ok I hope this is not a necropost but I have a noob intuition... I have an Arduino, so basicly I could use it as USB to TTL so I can make the test you ask me right? or UART is different?
So I have this usb to ttl...what I have to do to check if my board is dead or not?

Please this is important!
  • Have you checked the voltage at the GPIO pins? Your answer I am sure it is 5V 2A is not good enough, sorry. You need to check with a voltmeter!
  • I am sorry, I also missed in your first post that you soldered your power cable from a old usb cable. If that USB cable was not a high power one, the cables are mostlikely too thin and that will not work either.
It makes no sence to check the µSD card before you do not have checked the above points first!
