Apologies for English ...
I have just put together a mini using a prebuilt board I obtained some time ago through this forum. I have run through all the recommended setup tests and see all the correct test voltages.
When I mount the Pi and apply power I see the screen menu but nothing else. I don't think the Pi is even powering up - I think I should be able to see the LED through the plastic surround of the board hole - I can when I apply power directly to pi when it is not mounted. I can see 5V on 5V pin of the Pi.
If I unmount the Pi and power directly it powers up and LED lights - maybe the LED is not illuminated when the board is powered via GPIO.
I saw a problem further down the forum about changing some settings in boot.txt - I will try this next and maybe everything is OK
