Raspberry Pi 5 fails to boot !!

Hello everyone, I am using Raspberry Pi 5 (64 bit) and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for some time.

Yesterday, I installed a heat sink and a cooler fan on it .

But now the Raspi fails to boot. I have tried the bootloader thing with imager software and also flashing the sd card again and again.

What I have observed:

3 long 3 short blinks with SD card and also without SD card.

According to the convention, the 3 long and 3 short blinks means I2C error.

I concluded that its a hardware issue , cannot be fixed with software and the board needs to be replaced now.

Am I right or wrong? What should I do ? I don't have spare Raspi and neither enough money to buy a new one.

Help me out please.

Also , please tell me what could be the reason behind this damage. Also the heat sink isn't the reason right ? The board worked before ( some weeks before heat sink ) and not after heat sink installation.

Thanks. Please help

HELP ME OUT !!

Hello Guys and Girls , My sister is preparing for NEET (this year was brutal for everyone) , she did really well tho. I hope she will do just as well again if everything goes well. As a brother , I was worried about her after she goes into a medical college , specially the ragging thing (which I have heard a lot ) . Saw a documentary Placebo which shattered my heart.
If any of you guys can help me out , tell me about the culture there . How are the freshers treated ? What kind of relationship do different years have with each other ?

I am not from a really wealthy family or something , I myself is a first generation learner . I am in Engineering Undergrad and things seem happy here . But are medical college just the same?
Please help me out , I would love to hear the thoughts of female students studying there or in different medical colleges , I hope you guys have a idea of type of things which happen in different colleges .
Thanks a Lot !!

What was that ? One of the biggest grind of my life.

Never trained my mons with so much calculations, never gave importance to moves which changed stats , never gave importance to status conditions. This is the Best !!!

THE PEAK !!!!

Whats next guys? Not gonna leave this game ever ! 😭

Aegislash was the MVP of the run. Somehow got him 2 sword dance and he is unstoppable.

E4 Aegislash was the toughest after moleman multitarget . Jax was easier than the E4 , his team was vulnerable to Earthquake quite a bit.

Shitty people found in CSC , who use it as a study cum dating area.

I went out for a washroom/coffee break for like 15 minutes. They came and removed all my stuffs from that table , and started working .

The guy said ki "kahi aur jaa ke baith jao , same hi baat hai" . He knows ki khi aur baithne ki jagah nhi hai.

And why don't he go sit at that place jha wo mujhe suggest kr rha. The reason was he had to sit with a girl , probably his girlfriend or maybe best friend.

If you want to study , study . What is the necessity to sit with your friends along side you.

I went out for 15 minutes and he says ki he was sitting here from 30 minutes , lol whatever.

And also that he did ethical things to close everything which was open on the system. 🤡

First of all , heavy pokemon get to move first -- okay fine. Wrestling like battle , I get.

But how / why the hell a load of iron / stell metagross ( 550 Kg / 1212.5 lbs ) is lighter than a horse ( 920 Kg / 2028.3 lbs) .

This makes no sense to me whatsoever.

So my first time playing expert difficulty. And guess what I jumped into the distorted world , found giratina. And it just one shot every one of my mons. It got better level than each one of mine ( LVL cap) , and it got so much speed .

What to do now?? Leave the game?
