Hello,
I have a Naomi 2 NetBoot setup that I’ve recently started using again but it’s having some issues. After I turn it on after not using it for a bit it’ll work great. However then if I try and turn it off and back on again I’m greater with a black screen. The Naomi boots fine without the netdimm in. After a while I can get the netdimm to boot again, but if I turn it off and back on again I’m greeted with the black screen again. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
 
Check your voltages coming from your power supply - And preferably use any one with an adjustable 5 and/or 3.3v knob, and turn it up ever so slightly - Running all the extra stuff (Netdimm/4-pin for powering your loader) needs a little extra juice.

Strangely that didnt fix it. Even when having the pi use a different power supply entirely its the same behavior.
 
How about the fans? They spinning alright? Pulse line connects them to the motherboard and if they don't spin great it won't boot, IIRC

Did a deep clean of all the connector pins and board itself and that seemed to fix it.
 
I bet it's the Naomi motherboard at fault. I have this same issue on two setups. I put a power switch on the PSU and I just flick off and on as many times as needed.

It could probably be fixed by recapping the Naomi, but that job looks like a complete PITA.
