I am new to Pi development now while working suddenly the cable wires of pin1 (3.3 V) and pin2 (5 V) got in contact for a short time then the Pi shutdown. When I turn it back on, only the LED red is on. The green LED is not, nor is the ACT LED.

I have tried to find a fix but seems that I can't find one—is the Pi dead?

I am using an RPi 3 Model B+.

It could be the poly fuse also. I was once wiring up a robot and pretty sure i shorted something out on mine. It just died and never came on.. no lights, nothing. Thought it was dead so i left it unplugged and came back to it acouple days later, thought might as well try it and see what happens. Sure enough i plugged it in and it worked like nothing happened.

So just a thought leave it all unplugged for acouple days and plug it back in and see what happens. For some reason several devices i have, have done something similar to this.

  • also make a new ISO with pi on it to test it to make sure the sd card that was in the pi when that happened did corrupt it self. – Moist Bit May 28 '18 at 22:52
  • so there is a possibilities that my raspberry pi can be restored? thanks hope this will work soon how long does it takes? – Snow Angel May 29 '18 at 04:21
  • Just wait 3-4 days for the poly fuse to restore. You raspberry will work again like Moist Bit said – Kreumz May 29 '18 at 06:49

    Connecting the 5V pin to the 3V3 pin is not going to draw enough current for the polyfuse to operate. No point in giving false hope. – joan May 29 '18 at 07:09
  • I just want to know if I need to buy a new one or wait the polyfuse to reset? – Snow Angel May 29 '18 at 13:40

    @SnowAngel , like joan is saying, connecting the 5V pin to the 3V3 pin most likely wouldn't use enough power to activate the polyfuse, which means you will probably have to buy a new pi. – Benjamin Ashbaugh May 29 '18 at 15:48
