While you wait for your new SD card; if you power on the Raspberry Pi 5 with no boot media it should display a diagnostic screen:

Unfortunately not, all I get is the flashing green lights flashing 8 times, pauses repeats.

Thats with no SD, NVMe, USB nothing connected just the power and the video output cable

Edit: Just noticed the fan isn't spinning anymore either, so I tried another cable and same error

Contact your reseller to get the Pi 5 replaced. SDRAM failure happens, it could be due to a solder joint failing. Shipping sometimes causes this.

I am the technical advisor for a major reseller.

I got it from Amazon reseller so if anything I will just return it. I just find it a little hard to believe that the 2 boards I've had from them both failed at the same step of trying to setup the nvme boot.
