I suspect my Pi is dead...
I have a B7 from the kickstarter. When I turn on power, it flashes multiple colors and then goes all blue and sits there. I let it sit for a good half hour, just to be sure.
The SD card is well-seated. All pumps light up.
I saw in some answers that plugging in HDMI and watching the boot is a good place to start, but the HDMI port is right next to pump ports 9-15, and it butts right against two of them with about 2mm clearance.
There's simply no way to get an HDMI cable plugged in unless I removed two of the plugs (not really possible, of course).
Am I hosed?
Is this a good question?
Progress - I removed the two screws on the Pi and was able to move it JUST enough to get the HDMI cable in.
I power up, the dispensers go to blue, but HDMI never gets signal.
Also, the Pi gets REALLY hot around C6. Is this normal?
Any adult supervision on diagnostics I can do?
