Comment on Struggling to get PI OS working on a 3B

Just downloaded the .img.xz, extracted the .img with 7zip, flashed to a card with win32diskimager.

Any reason you avoided the official Raspberry Pi Imager software? You really can just configure a headless OS all before flashing the SD card. Choose RPi OS lite from the list, then set up your hostname, username, password, wireless and turn on SSH service. Then all you have to do after flashing is plug in power and SSH in. None of this display troubleshooting would be needed.

Because this method has worked just fine for years. It’s also how I restore my backups so it’s a familiar process.
Configuration was never the issue/ I have no problem setting it up manually and switching it to being headless when I’m ready for that.
The display not working is a symptom; the entire device was shutting down, not just refusing to output video unfortunately.
Turned out to be a faulty sd card. New one is now working just fine.
