# Description of a problem
I am trying to boot a raspbery pi zero W from 2020, but cannot get it working.
ANybody has some suggestions idea?
Thank you very much, description is below:)
# What I do
* Burn the image to the SD card using raspberry imager
* put the sd card in the slot
* connect HDMI to my monitor
* connect the power
# What I see
* the green diode is flashing initially for couple of minutes(?), then settles to constant green
* the monitor diode i have it connected to it is flashing orange the same as when not connected to any input
* I cannot see the device on wifi using the `arp -a` in powershell or `nmap -v -sn 192.168.0.1/24` from another raspberry pi (pi4 circa 2020) connected to the wifi
# Setup
## My system used for setup
* Lenovo Ideapad S340-IIL
* Windows 10
* Raspberry Pi imager v1.8.5
## Monitor
Type: BENQ BL2410PT
Connection: VGA through mini HDMI to VGA connector
## Router
TPLINK M7200
## Power source
* Power Bank (runs the Raspberry Pi4 fine)
* official raspberry pi source
## Images burning
* official raspberry pi imager
* set wifi and password in the imager setup
* set hostname, username, and password
* set identification through ssh keys (when setting up the raspberry pi 4, the user and password over ssh did not work)
# What I tried
1. switch it off after 10 minutes, then start it again
2. burn different distributions (Bookworm, and the Bullseye legacy, from the selection in the official imager)
3. adding the wpa_supplicant.conf and creating ssh file in the bootfs (using gitbash on windows machine gitbash) when the booting did not work
4. tried two more raspberry pi zero W of roughly the same age, got the same result (this one run last in january okey, using the bullseye legacy image)
# Attached files
1. wpa_supplicant.conf
