Troubleshooting • Re: Rpi 5 with blinking LED after accident

According the LED warning flash codes that means "Fatal firmware error".

You could try reflashing the bootloader EEPROM using a spare SD card and the recovery images from Raspberry Pi Imager
Choose OS -> Misc utility images -> Bootloader (Pi 5 family), then choose your preferred boot type.

The screen should turn green if it completes successfully.
I tried this, it seems like it did something, but now the LED is flashing red and orange really fast.
I know this is a power issue, but now I wonder if its the port, the firmware, or the board. I used two psus, one running at 45w and the other at probably 5-10w, and neither had a difference, so its most likely not a external power issue. I'm pretty sure its just those three options but yes there still is the possibility of it just being both power supplies but I think that is rather unlikely.
