Blinking Cursor on Startup
Hi all.
I'm pretty new to SBCs in general, so forgive me if I've been missing a big step.
After flashing the image to my SD card with Rufus, I only get a blinking cursor in the top left with no other text. LEDs come on an with the red and green solid, and the blue with a fairly steady blink. This happens with any image that I've tried, Ubunto 16 and 18, both coming from the Libre downloads page. I've tried imaging the SD card with two different computers.
Basically I am trying to figure out if this issue is a defective board, or if it is the cheap SD cards I have, or if it's another issue, such as a bad SD card reader I've been using or if I am completely missing a step required.
Any help or insight would be appreciated.
Thank you

Update: I've tried a nicer SD card and a new reader to image the card. Neither worked. I am wondering if the board is defective.
Update 2: I got it working, but only with the headless 18.04 image. I suspect it's working with the others, but the video is not correctly passing to the monitor. Anyway know tricks to improve the success of getting video to correctly establish?
Currently I plug it in before start up, and cycle the inputs but no such luck on any GUI images.
