I bought the Argon One V3 NVMe case for the Raspberry Pi 5.
Looks like it is broken, but I think the assembly is still interesting enough for a video.

I like the Argone One case, because it has full size HDMI ports and you can add a M.2 2280 NVMe drive. But it's not the easiest case to assemble. Especially the PCIe connector and the screw to keep the NVMe drive in its place.
At the end you can see, that I connect a USB-C power supply, but the fan doesn't spin.
Hopefully the shop that I bought it from, will return a working replacement.

I could be wrong, but it looks like your NVMe drive wasn't fully seated. You have to insert it at an angle and apply a little pressure to get the connector fully inserted. You shouldn't see so much of the drive's connector side exposed. Either way, I hope you were able to figure everything out. 😊

@DavidHarvie 20 дней назад

Had a similar problem when I assembled mine. Tried both a Raspberry Pi 27W and 45 W USB-C power supply without success. The only way I was able to get it to work was to seat the power jumper on the always on settings.

@fmafieldmediaascension9220 7 дней назад

Gotta press the power button to start the test.

@christiann5952 Месяц назад

I have no idea, but it worked fine for me. The fan and power manager also worked without any problems after installing the script. You can create your own temperature curve for the fan. I didn't have to make any changes to the config file either. This script did everything fully automatically.

@LivingLinux Месяц назад

When did you get yours? Perhaps it has a different firmware version.

@christiann5952 Месяц назад

@@LivingLinux About 2 weeks ago. Regarding the firmware, I don't know. I hadn't done an update. I don't know where you can watch the version either. Argon Configuration Tool shows version 2404002. But I don't know if it is the same as the firmware version.

The four black domes are rubber feet for the bottom of the case.

My case did not start up as well. but i tested it and the fan started. btw the fan will run or run for 5 sex then stop. did some checking it looked to be the small board that was the problem cos no power was coming out.....however. mail them and sending it back ..well am lazy so i try getting it to work again.. i removed the small board and stuck cable in to the power-in on the board and it made a click sound. and now i stared up. soo i think the problem for me was: the connection is new so it's tight. so make sure the power cable gets in all the way. However the raspberry pi did not start up right away after pressing the button . might just be cos it's a new case i also did firmware update and the code install..

I got my case a few days ago, and i just put the device together last night and ran into the same issue where i plugged it in and no power on. I am going to take it apart and try that fan test and if not ask them for help.

@LivingLinux 2 месяца назад

Hmmm, just coincidence, or perhaps a bad batch?

@Beyondesp 2 месяца назад

@LivingLinux I had an idea that it might be the power jumpers (the 1/2 vs the 2/3 connection, what you mention at around the 8:13 mark in your video ) I switched it to the 2/3 connection and the fan and the case now works. I am guessing the jumpers' default setting doesn't work or doesn't work until after you install the power scripts. I am using ubuntu instead of the raspberry pi os so the power scripts doesn't work. I will have to open it up again and use raspberry pi os to change the bootloader order to use usb/nvme/sd card vs nvme/usb/sd card so that I can do board maintenance stuff (update the pi eeprom) by booting from from usb without opening the case.

@LivingLinux 2 месяца назад

I sent mine in for replacement. But good to know there is one more thing I can test.

@Beyondesp 2 месяца назад

@LivingLinux I installed raspberry pi os to the ssd and installed everything while I had the jumpers in 2/3. I took it apart again and switched to default 1/2 and now the board works as intended with the functioning power button. That's annoying and I though I had a non working case when it is actually fine...

@ichicolco Месяц назад

I too had the same issue of no power. Turns out the Argon 27watt supply can't power the V.3. When I swapped to a non-PD power supply, it booted right up. I'm betting there's something missing on the HDMI daughter board that responds to the PD signal lines.

@enissay9950 26 дней назад

How the F*!!! I bought it specifically for this purpose >_>

@luigiprovencher8888 Месяц назад

I hope yours works better than mine. It worked fine at first with raspberry pi os but now it doesn't power down correctly and doesn't come on after the first button push. You have to push the button three or four times before it comes on.

@LivingLinux Месяц назад

Have you tried updating the firmware?

@luigiprovencher8888 Месяц назад

@@LivingLinux Yes. I don't think that the scripts are installing right or successfully because there's no Argon One V3 Desktop Icon on the desktop after it's been installed and rebooted and I just got the Argon NEO 5 NVMe in the mail today and the output was different when I was done installing the script and they both use the same first script but the second script for the NEO 5 is different.

@luigiprovencher8888 Месяц назад

@@LivingLinux The fan worked during the fan and power button test and I think that updating or upgrading the firmware worked but I have no idea because after you move the firmware file over to the RP2040 it ejects itself or you have to manually eject it and there's no way of verifying that as fast as I know. It's all automatic.

@chrislee1701 Месяц назад

The drive wasn’t installed correctly. It needs to go in at an angle and will spring up until screwed in as per this video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2UeWMgjwogU.htmlsi=cWFVkHQYs7rcvx6e

The inside chip for the fan is so sick! Wish there was one for the orange pi 5 plus but the only good one is the official case 😢

@LivingLinux 2 месяца назад

That's why some companies use the same form factor as Raspberry Pi, so you can use the same case.

@Perfboard 2 месяца назад

@@LivingLinux oh really? Damn that’s sick imma check out some stuff with the same size. Pretty sure orange pi made something called orange pi 5 pro and it’s the same size as pi 5 or 4

@Rushil69420 2 месяца назад

@@Perfboard yes but you have 2 full size HDMI ports instead of 2 micro, and a headphone jack where the pi 5 doesn't have one. the radxa rock 5A however is the exact same form factor as the Pi 4B, which has a shitload of aftermarket case support.

@Perfboard 2 месяца назад

@@Rushil69420 true, but raxda is like 50 dollars more than pi 5 plus soo :|

@LivingLinux 2 месяца назад

@@Perfboard As Rushil mentions, you need to take more into account than just the dimensions of the board. It's the size and positions of the ports and sometimes also the position of heatsinks. I wouldn't recommend a Flirc case (passively cooled case, with heatsinks on top of the CPU and one other chip). There are cases that consist of multiple parts, making it easier to fit more different boards, by leaving out one panel. Here is an example with the Banana Pi M4 Berry. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fTo_d-KExDg.html

I've got no power on anything. Used voltmeter on IO pins and nothing. What's up with this model? Anybody get one working? Very discouraged!

@LivingLinux 2 месяца назад

Have you tried changing connecting pin 1 and 2, to connecting 2 and 3? @Beyondesp mentions this in another comment. See at around 8:13.

@dougrobson7904 2 месяца назад

@@LivingLinux yes, I changed from the default to always come up. Being as it's a tightly enclosed metal housing, there's no way to see what's going on inside. I measured on the GPIO pins and there is no voltage anywhere. This unit desperately needs some LEDs to show at least power status.

With the product already out of its packaging by 2'30", I can see this 30 minute video is probably going to be well over an hour long.

@motoesbg Месяц назад

You first must read carefully the instruction.

@LivingLinux Месяц назад

That might be true, but judging from the other comments, it looks like the launch of this product wasn't smooth.

@srvuk 2 месяца назад

Ouch. At $49 is does seem overkill and essentially devalues any Pi 5 purchase.

@PatsFanGermany 2 месяца назад

How does it devalue the Pi 5?

Месяц назад

it's a very nice case, has an nvme base and a board to redirect side ports as well, how does this devalue anything in your mind? Your statement makes zero sense.
