Green LED blinking 7 times pause and repeat, what does it mean?

Question

_{Tuesday, November 29, 2016 11:51 PM}

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 V1.2, Windows IoT updated to last digits .448.

Boots up fine and it will reboot fine too; but when it is shout-down, the RPi ends in a non-stop series of 7 blinks.

1) what do the repeating 7 blinks mean?

2) How do I know I can turn the DC power off?

3) any other codes for the green LED?

Hi JFHnS,

1 & 3. Specifics to the raspberry Pi green and red LED diagnostics can be found in their forum at https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums . 

2. When the OS is not writing to the SD Card

Conclusion: I suspect 7 blinks means no bootable image as if you power down the Pi without ensuring it is not writing to the SD Card you can corrupt the card.

Sincerely,
