Issue to power my Raspberry Pi 4 with GPIO

[aladin78]

I want to power my Raspberry Pi 4 with GPIO pins. So I connect pins 2 and 4 to 5V/3A and pin 6 to GND but nothing appears on the screen. The red LED stays on and the green on stays off. Does someone have a solution ?

So are you sure you have the correct pins ?


pi 3 shown but pi4 has same gpio header layout

also ref.. https://pinout.xyz/#

what size cable are you using between the PSU and the pi ?

do you have an SD card in the pi with an OS on it ?
