THE ZERO DOES NOT HAVE A POWER LED

The Pi Zero doesn't have much in the way of blinky LEDs to give you a warm fuzzy that it's doing anything or even alive. And if the GPU doesn't find a valid OS image, it doesn't even turn on the green ACT LED and looks totally dead. Typically this just means something is up with the SD card. Bad card. Bad image. Out of date image. Whatever. '''It does not mean the Pi Zero is dead.'''
