Problem description
Raspberry Pi having issues with booting or reading the SD card.
- Pi 4
- Maybe other models too
Symptoms
- The error Failed to open device: 'sdcard' (cmd 371a0010 status 1fff0001) appears in the boot screen.
- The system fails to read data from the SD card.
- The system boots only after a weak bending force is exerted on the PCB.
- The system freezes randomly, or after a weak bending force is exerted on the PCB.
Solution
- Test the SD card in another Pi to make sure that it's actually working
- Check the condition of the SD card slot. Fix any issues with it, and reflow the solder of the SD card slot.
- Reflow the solder underneath the CPU using hot air at 350°C / 660°F.
