It's still worth reading that trouble-shooting thread, the one that says that, at the time of writing, none of the Zeroes returned as faulty have been faulty, and they all go through factory testing. :-) Includes booting without an SD card to observe USB activity on connected host IIRC. > I spent several days suspecting the SD Card, the dd command syntax I > was using and almost everything but the Zero and then decided to write > it on the Pi 2, which worked fine.
