I orderd 2 OP PC2, but No LED is flashing if I power them on. An older OP works. 5V/3A Supply..

Did you check your SD card and the image you wrote? Did you try another image for PC2? Same result?

[size=17.1429px]he Ethernet and power LED wont light if the board dont boot, so most people will consider it dead. Acutally it just dont boot.
[size=17.1429px]So download images on Orangepi offical web for PC2, and burn it to the 8 or 16 GB 10class SD card.

Hi,
Which image do you use and what power supply (eg. official, phone, generic from aliexpres,...) have you there?

Please check 1. the voltage at the 5V rail: GPIO pin 2 or 4 (5V) and pin 6 (GND). Many power supplies do not hold a stable voltage above 5V with a load and the Orange Pi's need a stable 5+ voltage. It could be that your power supply just drops a little bit under 5V, but enough to power the old OP and the OP PC2 needs just a bit more power.

If this is OK, check the image on the µSD card. In the past with my first attempts i had problems if I did not follow closely the instructions of each ROM.

I have no problems with armbian and you find the images here

If the OPi does not have a memory with an operating system installed does not work, does not turn on, uses a class 10 memory for better results, test downloading the image of some operating system, Retrorangepi for example installs the image using "Etcher" to me it worked .
