Refer to the right diagram: # Make sure the FPC cable is '''firmly and fully inserted''' into the PI 5, this is '''very important'''. For [[X1003]] shield, make sure the FPC cable '''direction''' is correct also.# <span class="tb_red_bold">For [[X1003]] shield, make sure the FPC cable '''direction''' is correct also.

Follow the picture below to check the version of [[X1001]] or [[X1000]] [[File:X1001-V1.1-IMG-6871-old-new.jpg|600px]] 2. If it is an '''Old Version''', refer to [[How to update eeprom firmware]] to update the firmware with '''pieeprom-2023-10-30.bin file'''. 3. If it is an '''New Version''', refer to [[How to update eeprom firmware]] to update the firmware to '''lasted version'''. 4. '''If you still have not solved the problem, please refer to the next FAQ:Q1'''</div></div> <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.0;">Q3: How to fix the 2230/2242/2260 SSD on X1001 or other PIP?</div><div class="mw-collapsible-content">A: The X1001 and other pips does not reserve the nut column to fix the 2230/2242/2260 SSD. Based on our test, you can secure the 2230/2242/2260 SSD using an M2*6mm screw and 2pcs M2 nuts. Place one M2 nut under the SSD, then use the M2*6mm screw and the other M2 nut to fasten the SSD. <SPAN class="tb_red_bold">PS: As of April 2024, we have added customized copper pillar in only '''X1001''' packing list to solve this issue, please refer to [[X1001#Packing_Lis | the packing list of X1001]].</SPAN></div></div> <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.0;">Q4. X1002 can't boot when install into the P580 case?</div><div class="mw-collapsible-content">A: Please check if the FPC cable touch the metal case make shorting when install X1002 into the metal case, you can stick the electrical tape on the case to prevent the ribbon FPC cable from contacting the case to test.</div></div> <div class="toccolours mw-collapsible mw-collapsed"><div style="font-weight:bold;line-height:1.0;">Q5: Which NVMe drives work with a Raspberry Pi 5?</div><div class="mw-collapsible-content">A: You can refer to the video: https://youtu.be/3mUgVTBmKio.</div></div>}}
